What can you expect? With this totally incompetent leadership running West Hollywood. From the WEHO City management to the city Council.
The city is not only corrupt, but also dangerous.
A party at 3am in a residential neighborhood. What could go wrong?
Why did Sheriff’s close down Sweetzer and Norton at around the same time of shooting We were told can’t leave the building ? Was this part of the shooting or car accident Helicopter above us so loud and freaking us out with shadows and sound. I was sound asleep for once? What’s going on? Today many people checking LP# on streets, lots of Sheriff’s and undercover driving around. What,s going on?
This will occur again, and forbid this was a stray bullet that hit a pedestrian walking or passerby driving a vehicle while someone shot off rounds! Our safety is in jeapordy by others use of violence and other people who might come from a venue or club or be walking home too during the times these parties unravel in violence!

Meanwhile, the wannabe gangbangers have free rein to constantly rob people at gunpoint from here to Melrose to Beverly Grove. And now two people get shot. Anyone else had enough of this yet ? It’s time for the Sheriffs and LAPD to take the gloves off and start kicking some ass once and for all.
The West Hollywood Public Safety Department oversees the West Hollywood Sheriff station.

Until that happens, we are all at risk of being victims of crime.
Wasn’t the person at the helm of the Public Safety Dept called out for bullying? Think I read it here. Whatever happened with that?
got to keep job. still working for the city. our city.
Damn right why so little reinforcment.

That’s what I want to know the helicopter was driving us nuts and dog wanted to go outside.lol great timing what happened in totality
I don’t know if it’s the same incident, but the Sheriff’s helicopter was hovering around for hours before the time stated in this article.
