Another night in Long Beach unfolded with sirens, as police responded to reports of a no-hit shooting near the Los Angeles River at Wardlow Road. It was Sept. 4, just before the clock struck midnight—11:24 p.m. to be precise—when LBPD officers rushed to the scene, only to discover the caller was the alleged gunman. The Long Beach Police Department reported that they arrested the suspect and, during their investigation, found a loaded un-serialized firearm in his possession.
Details on what might have prompted the suspect to fire the gun, and why they ended up contacting police themselves, still hang in an air of mystery. Adding a layer to the strange course of events, officers were not immediately able to locate any victims or property damage, suggesting a scene absent of the usual tragic outcomes such confrontations leave behind. The LBPD's inquiry into the matter is ongoing, and the perpetrator's identity has not yet been disclosed to the public.
Those with any information regarding the incident are encouraged to contact the LBPD.
