It would be very interesting to know if the officer who shot him knew about this and whether it may have contributed to his reaction to shoot.

The latest shooting broke out Tuesday night in San Pedro, when a man allegedly shot at two LAPD officers. Though no officers were hit, it was a different case just hours earlier in Lynwood, when a sheriff’s detective was shot in the shoulder.
