Outcry grows over string of dangerous incidents at homeless encampments
KABC
VENICE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) Residents in Venice continue to voice their frustration over growing homeless encampments in the area they say are becoming increasingly dangerous.
Eyewitness News obtained video of a homeless man being shot last week on the Venice Boardwalk, which also shows the shooter walk away while the victim moans in pain. The victim remains in the hospital in stable condition, and is not cooperating with police.
Los Angeles police doesn’t know who or where the gunman may be.
The shooting took place at nearly the same spot where someone set fire to a tent. In that incident from earlier this week, video shows a small fiery explosion that ripped through a tent at an encampment. Bystanders were able to put the fire out with sand before firefighters arrived.
