Supervisor Hahn Issues Statement on Commerce Bus Incident
Los Angeles, CA -- Today around 4:50 pm, a passenger on a Metro bus in the City of Commerce was shot and killed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has detained a person of interest in the case.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn released the following statement:
"Just this morning we announced a law enforcement surge across our entire Metro system.
However, I still believe we need to find a way to keep weapons off our system. You can’t get into a Dodger game, a concert or on an airplane without going through security.
We can and must do better. I am committed to making our transit system safer for all, no matter the cost."
