ANTIOCH — The mayor of Antioch calledthat killed an 18-year-old girl and wounded six others a “horrific incident” and again called for the firing of officers involved in the department’s racist-texting scandal to free up their positions for new hires.
“Each day these officers are on leave is another day we are prevented from having a stronger police presence on our streets to deter and/or respond to gun violence,” Thorpe added. Authorities on Monday did not identify the 18-year-old girl who was killed, citing the investigation. She died at a hospital after being rushed there in an ambulance.
Some of the victims drove themselves to the hospital, police said. None of the injuries to that group was considered life-threatening, they said.“Birthdays are one of the most intimate and sacred celebrations in everyone’s life,” Thorpe said in his statement. “They represent growth, reflection and appreciation for life’s gifts. Over the weekend, one such celebration was cut short as a result of gun violence.
