A police officer in Los Angeles County shot and killed while sitting in his police car in his department's parking lot appeared to be targeted, officials said Thursday.

The officer, identified by officials as Ricardo Galvez, was in his car when multiple people approached and opened fire late Wednesday night, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

"While he was sitting there, a couple of individuals ran up on his car, shot into his car and struck him with gunfire," Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said during a news conference early Thursday.

John Kerry will say that there is legitimacy or rationale.

Anything is possible, but we’ll have to wait for more information.

That horse’s ass would say something like the shooting was understandable.

Downy is heavily hispanic, but I don’t rule out any group.

“Three people are in custody in connection with the killing of a 29-year-old Downey police officer who was fatally shot in a botched robbery as he sat in his personal vehicle in a civic center parking lot, authorities said today.

Officer Ricardo Galvez, who was on duty but not in uniform, was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car just after 11 p.m. Wednesday when two male suspects approached and opened fire, said Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The assailants did not realize that Galvez was a police officer, Corina said.

Afterward, the two men got into a vehicle and fled, he said.”

He was targeted because the imbeciles thought he was a civvy. case closed. I hate it when vets get killed here when especially this Marine did 2 stints in Iraq.

R.I.P. Marine...

““We couldn’t sleep all night because of the helicopters,”

Here in Hollywood, the LAPD still use choppers at night at NO ONE can go to sleep. They have at least 3 drones at their disposal and these clowns still use choppers late in the early morning...

I’ve searched and can not find any source that tells who these killers are. With all the crickets, they must be obama’s sons or illegals. Don’t want to get certain groups riled up.

Botched robbery... REALLY? Or maybe it was that they were really really angry at a Charlie Hebdo cartoon or maybe it was over another video that Hillary found ? Finding these motives just as specious as any others such as work place violence and the wide array of obfusication bent other other than truths floated I remain sceptical on robbery.

Pray tell, what was your first clue he may have been targeted?
