A community meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, June 5th at 10 am in the Pan Am Park gym to discuss the recent shooting that occurred over the Memorial Day weekend in Pan Am Park.
Representatives of the Long Beach Police Department and the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department will be on hand to answer questions.
I encourage residents to come to this meeting -- as there seems to be a bit of misinformation being circulated about what happened and who was responsible.
This was a family bbq (with music, bouncing pads for kids, games, etc.) that has been held in Pan Am park for over 20 years. The family and relatives live in Compton. Apparently some of the younger members of the family brought "friends" and a fight broke out. Someone pulled a weapon and shot a person.
