CBSLA is reporting that one man in Eagle Rock was shot in the face while sitting in his car. Police say the motive is a possible love triangle

According to police, the shooting happened on Townsend Avenue and Yosemite Drive just after midnight earlier today. A man allegedly walked up to the car and shot the victim in the face.

He was rushed to the hospital and is currently in stable condition. One suspect has been taken into custody, who was a couple of blocks away from the incident.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something.

“I remember driving early in the morning, in the dark, to get to the cemetery,” says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy. “I remember thinking to myself, 'I’ve never been over here, but I’ve heard that there’s really great tacos over here on Soto. Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
