Man charged for illegal gun ownership
Jan. 26, 2021 at 5:00 am
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Jason Scott Walsh, a 32-year-old white male, for discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner into an inhabited dwelling, along with additional charges.
On January 9, 2021 at approximately 9 p.m., officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a report of possible ‘shots fired’ near the 400 block of 19th Street. A resident called 9-1-1 after hearing a “popping” sound and finding what he believed to be a bullet hole in the wall of his garage. Officers arrived and while speaking to the resident, they heard two additional muffled sounds coming from the residence just east of them on 20th Street. Officers responded to the 400 block of 20th Street and contacted Jason Walsh, who lives directly behind the residence where they began their investigation.
Over 100 Pedestrians Are Killed By Drivers In LA Every Year. Here s What We Found

In 2019, 134 people were killed by drivers while walking in Los Angeles. That s about one death every two-and-a-half days. In fact, pedestrian deaths increased from 87 in 2014 or nearly 55% over 5 years. Hundreds more pedestrians are injured by drivers each year.
What makes that statistic even more troubling is that deaths climbed
after city officials implemented Vision Zero, a program with the very public goal of ending such deaths by 2025. The safety initiative is managed by the city s Department of Transportation.
I d been watching the progress (or lack of progress) with Vision Zero for a while. Then in October 2019, a pre-schooler named Alessa Fajardo was killed by a driver in Koreatown while crossing with the light, in a crosswalk, holding her mother s hand. She was just steps from her school.
