LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles police officer was shot in the stomach during a gunbattle in South Los Angeles Saturday night.
The shootout happened at a suspected rave party in the Vermont Knolls area near Broadway and 83rd Street, just before midnight.
Police said they were trying to break up a loud party, possibly an illegal rave, when suspected gang members fired on them. Officers immediately returned fire killing one person, the channel 4 News reported
The injured 30-year-old officer was listed in stable condition after surgery.
At least two partygoers were injured and transported to a hospital for treatment.
Investigators said they detained dozens of people for questioning and spent hours after the shooting collecting evidence. There was no word on any arrests.
It is when they do drugs, usually metamphetamines. It is often very crowded with loud and weird music in a warehouse or field. They tend to last all night. I remember in college, there would be rave party flyers.
Thanks.
Your welcome. I've seen rave parties on TV. They are really crowded and wild. They have lots of funky lighting and music.
It's a drug bust.......
