That weapon turned out to be a bike lock and cable.Tom Saggau, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said Monday that LAPD Officer William Jones had completed mass casualty active shooter training about two weeks before the shooting,No gun was found at the scene.
Officers can be heard saying,"Slow down, slow down." Saggau said:"They’re actually trained to say that as an act of communication amongst each other. It wasn't directed towards Officer Jones." “We sat down on a seat, holding each other, praying, when something hit my daughter, Valentina, and threw us to the floor,” Soledad Peralta said."And my daughter died in my arms. I couldn’t do anything.”Family members speak at a news conference following the death of 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta.
