KABC reported:

Authorities are investigating an apparent explosion at an LASD facility in Monterey Park where at least three people were killed.

The incident was reported just before 7:30 a.m. Friday at what looked to be LASD’s SEB compound, which houses the sheriff’s department’s special enforcement units and bomb squad.

It appears something may have exploded near a law enforcement vehicle, according to AIR7 footage.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene. It’s unclear if there were any other injuries.

Time to designate the angry protesters as a terrorist organization. Start to follow the money trail.

Frankly, LA’s hyper aggressive DEI policies and training programs working with high explosives do not mesh well.

They are kinda known for being a little loose on their estimation of explosive strength it seems -

If that’s true, then the news isn’t that the law enforcement facility was attacked, but that someone tried to bomb something else. Still very much a news story.

Absence of evidence is not always evidence of absense.
Need a more thorough investigation and release of information before concluding the case was accidental.

"‘MAYBE TRANSPORTING SOME BOMBS IN A VEHICLE’ .. FAUXNEWS"

Why would they be transporting live bombs to a facility? Makes no sense. If they found bombs somewhere they would have been neutralized at the scene, even if it meant evacuating people. And they likely have a robot to lift and move bombs if they have to.
