The shooting occurred at around 10 a.m. Thursday in Lennox, an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County.
An off-duty Inglewood Police officer was shot Thursday morning in Lennox, an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County, and investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what happened.
"He didn't seem too hurt, but I don't know what actually went down. I just literally seen them, like, putting him in the stretcher. That's it," she said. Inglewood Mayor James Butts said the officer was off-duty and in plain clothes at the time of the shooting. The mayor also said that the officer was hit twice by gunfire, once in the hip and once in the arm. "The officer was at the location, possibly either attempting to retrieve property or something to do ... that we learn now might've been domestic violence with a family member," Lt. Charles Calderaro, with the LASD, said.
For the people living in the Lennox community, a shooting involving a police officer is rare, but for some younger mothers in the area, the fear of gun violence is a constant. Renteria echoed the worries.
