"Man Fatally Shot By Pomona Police Had Toy Gun"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CBS) POMONA Pomona officers fatally wounded a man who pointed what turned out to be a toy gun at them, marking the second police-involved shooting in that city in a seven-hour span, authorities said Friday. "
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "As the officers searched the area, they were confronted by a man -- later identified as Bonilla -- who wore a black bandanna and a baseball cap and pointed what appeared to be an assault rifle at them, Webb said.
One of the officers fired several rounds from an AR-15 rifle, striking the man in the upper body, Webb said. The fatally wounded man's gun turned out to be a "toy replica," she said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Seven hours earlier and several blocks away, Pomona police shot and wounded a suspected gang member in the 400 block of East La Verne Avenue.
Two Pomona police officers and a deputy district attorney who prosecutes gang-related crimes had been out patrolling for gang activity when they saw a suspicious vehicle in an alley with two males inside and moved in to investigate, sheriff's Deputy Carlos Lopez said.
The passenger ran away, ditching a gun in the backyard of a nearby house as he fled, and the driver sped off, Lopez said.
The passenger evaded capture, but police caught up with the driver in a nearby alley, where the suspect opened fire and officers shot back, he said. "
update on LaVerne...
4 black males were robbing houses on the same street.....one house looked to be an old folks hospice...someone called 9-1-1 and two males took elderly residents hostage......SWAT teams set up all over with 2 other suspects outstanding.....the residents are now okay with 2 of 4 in custody.
the school was locked down in the middle of all this.
