LBPD Blotter – July 19, 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:

• Officers investigate a person with a firearm incident: On July 18, 2022 at approximately 7:03 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Wardlow Road and the San Gabriel River regarding a male subject with a firearm. Officers established a perimeter, activated SWAT, and advised nearby residents to evacuate and/or shelter in place. After an extensive search of the area, it was determined the subject had fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival. Officers located a pump action replica air rifle at the scene. Preliminary investigation revealed the subject had pointed the air rifle at three male juvenile victims. The victims did not sustain any injuries. The investigation is ongoing.  

This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
