Amidst all the politics surrounding dispensaries and legality in the city; violence at two shops yesterday left two employees dead and one critically injured.
The Higher Path Holistic Care Collective on Sunset Boulevard and Hollywood Holistic in Hollywood were both hit by armed gunmen just hours apart. Of course, there's no video surveillance, no witnesses, and it doesn't look like it's known whether or not anything was stolen.
This hits closer to home for myself since I've been to The Higher Path and the one critically injured was the security guard at the store. I still find it hard to believe there would be no surveillance inside and/or around the store. I drove by to take some pictures but didn't want to get caught up in the LAPD stakeout... black and whites clear as day sitting on the street watching the store.
