Mayor Karen Bass and other city leaders attended a town hall that drew over 100 people to address antisemitic violence following the shootings of two Jewish men in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood.
Mayor Karen Bass, other elected officials and Jewish leaders across Los Angeles County attended a town hall Monday night in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood that drew over 100 people to address antisemitic violence, following the shootings of two Jewish men last week after they left services at synagogues in the area.
Bass said it was important as hateful messages spread via flyers and freeway banners that "we act aggressively and immediately at the first sign of anything.'' "As a people, we know always have to be vigilant, but the unease we feel in our city -- in Los Angeles, in 2023 for crying out loud -- is deeply disturbing and wholly unacceptable,'' Yaroslavsky said.
The first shooting occurred around 9:55 a.m. Wednesday in the 1400 block of Shenandoah Street, near Pico Boulevard, between Robertson and La Cienega boulevards. A man in his 40s was shot in the lower back while walking to his vehicle.
