Off-duty LAPD officer fatally shot while house-hunting with girlfriend

The shooting unfolded Monday evening in the 1700 block of East 87th Street in unincorporated Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which is leading the investigation, said.

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore told members of the Board of Police Commissioners Tuesday that Arroyos was killed during a gunfight with 3 men who tried to rob him.

The police officer had been looking at a home to buy with his girlfriend when the couple was approached by the alleged robbers, two of whom opened fire, detectives told NBC Los Angeles.

Arroyos told his girlfriend to run and exchanged gunfire with the suspects, but was struck, they said.

Moore told board members the officer had a "bright future" that was "taken away" in a street robbery.



Like a lot of these stories, there's not a lot of details.

Is it better to give crooks your money or to try to shoot it out with them?

If you're using a gun for self-defense?

Even the worst shot can occasionally hit someone right between the eyes.

RIP
It's all situational. You have to think in tactical terms:

Nearest cover to me, nearest cover to them.

How many assailants?

Are they armed?

Do they look like they can handle themselves?

Sometimes the odds just are in your favor a giving them your billfold is the best bet.

If it looks like they're going to kill you anyway, then there is only one thing do.

Three armed robbers? I'm going to throw them my billfold at them and hopefully they leave.
 
"More guns" is the answer from the gun nuts. They feel that to resolve the gun problem, you to increase the thing that's the problem.

If you're gonna use the word Nazi, at least insert a fucking brain so you know what you're on about, you fucking retard.
There is no "gun problem". We have a criminal problem. A problem that has been exacerbated by Left wing politicians and their stupid anti-cop policies.
 
He wasn't shot while "house hunting". He was shot and killed in a robbery attempt. How does this incident qualify as a 2nd Amendment issue?
 
Unfortunately, life doesn't work like that. Law abiding people can go un-law abiding. Criminals is a small statistic with the gun issue.
Criminals are about ninety percent of the gun problem, most of the rest is suicide. Law abiding citizens are one or two percent. So criminals aren’t “a small statistic with the gun issue”
 
Murder during a robbery used to get you the death penalty.

Now, they'll all get bailed out by Kamala
If you kill someone during a robbery, and it’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, you should be shot in the back of the head execution-style within hours of the guilty verdict. Serve as a deterrent to armed robbery plus save the taxpayers some money.

And if you commit armed robbery but don’t hurt anyone it should still be an automatic life sentence. Zero tolerance and the thugs will be too terrified to even attempt an armed robbery.
