LBPD Blotter – Dec. 23, 2022

Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department will begin posting information about recent police activity, ongoing investigations, and other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website.

At approximately 10:00 a.m. each day, community members will be able to read preliminary information about incidents that may have occurred the previous evening, including shootings, stabbings, traffic fatality, and murder investigations, as well as any other notable incidents. This page will be a resource for the public to learn more about enforcement efforts, arrests, and commendable events and will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Negligent Discharge of a Firearm - 2900 block of 69th Street - Yesterday at approximately 10:19 p.m., officers responded to a local hospital regarding a shooting victim, later determined to be a negligent discharge of a firearm. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult subject with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper body. The subject stated that he was handling his firearm at his residence in the 2900 block of 69th Street, when he unintentionally discharged it, shooting himself.  Officers located evidence, including casings. No other injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing
