Man in critical condition after Van Nuys shooting

Police on Monday investigated a shooting in Van Nuys that left a man hospitalized in critical condition.

Murders here everyday , bodies found in garbage bins , kids getting killed for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. BETTER get these STUPID gangs under control and tell HOLLYWOOD no more gangland shows. Seems the USA loves these gangs WHY ? kill um all and let their maker figure it out...

Now those are odds I would not mind finding in a Vegas casino.

Excuse me Sir...but you are asking way too much for the DN. They have become the Readers Digest of Newspapers but don't give as much info~

well, i would bet my life that the shooter was latino, but the victim could be anyone. i had these motherfrs pull a gun on me once when i was walking my dog at 9:30pm on a sunday night. i managed to get away but 5 minutes later they shot some other poor soul in the chest.

let's declare open season on gang members. remember, shaved head, white tshirt baggy pants = gang member. the reason they all dress and look the same? so you can't pick one out of a police line up or photo ergo? they're all guilty.

or just save yourself and get the hell out of dodge. there's no protection from anywhere or anyone in the east valley which includes, studio city, north hollywood, sherman oaks, van nuys, "valley glen", etc.

my only regret is i wasn't packing because if i had been there would be 4 less gangsters running around the streets of l.a. and i would sleep like a baby afterwards. these aren't humans. they're cockroaches, who by attempting to take your life have forfeited their own right to exist.

The shooting is probably gang related but gangs survive on drug money...it seems to me if drugs where legalize gangs would lose their income and reason for violence...its not like people who want to use drugs cant because they are illegal...just legalize it already and stop the killings...

Wow ! A shooting took place just 3 blocks away from the Van Nuys police station....How many officers that are assigned behind desks, could have been on the streets instead, if they were physically able.
If only the mayor didn't make promises that he knew he couldn't keep. Apparently, a trend of his to get votes. If only the mayor would not have ignored the warnings from his administrative analyst that he was over spending. The mayor is having a difficult time delivering on his promise because he spent the money. Now he's asking, and expecting city workers, and the public to give him more, and more money. Perhaps, he just sees the public as bankers, and not wage earners. Last year his office budget was $8.8 million dollars. This year he increased it to $26 million dollars !(page 26 or 400 of city budget)
Law enforcement should be left to law enforcement, not to multi-million dollar gang intervention programs funded by taxpayers with little accountabillity. If the gang administrators really care about kids at risk, then, let them show their determination by raising funds through private fundraisers, not from taxpayer funds.
Mayor should keep the oath he recited when he was sworn into office. Better yet, he should quickly resign, or settle the city's deplorable deficit issues that he created as CEO of LA. Then the city could consider hiring additional officers.

I fell for it. I thought my DWP increase was supposed to pay for additional LAPD officers. Instead, the money went to pay the heads of the DWP more bonuses. Just exactly how many of us are born every 15 seconds?

The valley has become such a cesspool. It should be razed to the ground with everyone in it and then rebuilt so that decent people could live there.
