Inglewood police will hold a press conference today to give out info about Sunday's killing of an unarmed man.... Police in Orange arrest an L.A. County sheriff's deputy on suspicion of molesting a 15-year-old girl he's related to.... A Palmdale math teacher at Knight High School is being held on suspicion of having sex with a former student.... Two separate shootings leave two men dead in Pacoima.... Did a woman really sic her dog on a postal worker? (who, btw, happens to be a former Olympian).... Police search for three men who used guns in a carjacking in Pasadena.... A high-speed chase ends in gunfire in Covina.... Two men suspected of robbing a credit union in Buena Park are arrested.... A 10-day manhunt ended when a 16-year-old suspected of killing a parolee in San Bernardino surrendered to police.... The killing of an Oxnard man is thought to be gang-related.... A brush fire in Ventura burned just a quarter-acre before firefighters put it out.

Comments

I don't get the tone of these posts. the 'trouble in paradise' tagline makes it sound like it will be a fun round up of local stories, not a list of all horrific and/or depressing news.
