This is it guys, all of us scanner listeners are actually friends. We do not mind getting "beaten" to a post by another member of the scanner clan. Thanks for joining.
Why do accounts like ours exist?
Officials don't put out the releases until much after the incident is well underway. How many of you wondered what that smell of smoke, or the reason the freeway was shut down .... Incident started 2:15pm 50 minutes ago.
guys, I'm listening to the valley and there is almost NO rioting / calls here. Almost all of it is over the Hill. I am extremely busy tonight - I might get called in. Will try and keep you updated
West Hills murder RECAP:
Fallbrook / Vanowen.
4 shot: 1 dead, 3 hurt
Vanowen / Platt The red Honda crashed, 2 suspects got into a second vehicle.
Police chased the second vehicle and the pursuit ended at Saticoy/Canoga.

FAQ about this down aircraft in Beverly Crest / Sherman oaks:
Q) Why haven't they found the plane yet!? A) The fog is so thick, aircraft over was not able to visualize anything. Crews on the ground can barely see 50' in the fog. Steep terrain, inaccessible areas = no plane.

OK valley people. I called around. No shelter has space right now. They all want us to foster these stray kittens we found in a house after vacation. But the dog is not having it. Do any of you want to help kittens. DM
Recap: 1: Shooting 4400 Lankershim, multiple people shot in a black Mercedes.
2: LAPD at a local hospital said 2 vehicles just showed up, the shooters and the victims at the hospital.
3: A person called for another victim at Lankershim / Moorpark. That person is deceased.
We are hearing a LOT of additional information about weapons and ammo, we will be delaying the specifics.
Incident commander is requesting additional resources to stage at Sherman Way and Haskell for what LAPD is calling the "Major Incident" ^SS
Very busy in SFV tonight. A recap: 3 smash and grab burglaries using sledgehammers. A 4 car collision at Sherman way / Balboa. A man shot in Van Nuys after a possible burglary. An abandoned building greater alarm structure fire in Noho. I retweeted pertinent info on each.
Ok - LAFD talking to one neighbor now saying they did hear a crash.
Why did you not call 911 HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???
This call did not come into 911, it came from ATC who contacted first responder aircraft in the area.
Happy holidays!
It's that time of year again, if you hear 28 gunshots in a row, that might be fireworks, not some crazy shootout in your cul de sac in Sherman Oaks. Kay?
Today marks the 26th anniversary of the 1997 North Hollywood Shootout. A day that changed policing across America.
"44 Minutes" is a good movie about it.
