Mass Shooting in Los Angeles Kills Two People and Injures Six After Music Festival
A mass shooting in downtown Los Angeles has left two people dead and six injured in the early hours of Monday following the Hard Summer music festival, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. A 'large party' in the 1100 block of 14th Place was first shut down around 11 p.m. on Sunday after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside the venue. The person was arrested at the scene, according to the LAPD.

The officers found eight people were shot upon their arrival. One man was declared dead at the scene and seven others were taken to the hospital. One woman later died from her injuries while at the hospital. An investigation into the shooting is ongoing. The LAPD couldn't confirm that the party was related to the Hard Summer music festival, though the Los Angeles Times reported that a social media post promoting the event referred to the celebration as an after party for the festival. Hard Summer is a house and techno music festival that took place on Saturday and Sunday at Hollywood Park, which is next to SoFi Stadium.

Montreal family shot and handcuffed during police gunfight sue city alleging negligence and discrimination
A family caught in the crossfire of a police shootout last year is suing the Montreal police force and the city, alleging that after the family patriarch and his son were struck by bullets, officers handcuffed them and delayed medical treatment for nearly an hour. The Abdallah family filed a lawsuit in Quebec Superior Court on Monday. They are asking for more than $6 million in damages for the pain and suffering they say they experienced as a result of "negligent and reckless" actions of Montreal police during and after an exchange of gunfire with a suspect one year ago. On Aug. 4, 2024, Abdel-Rahman Abdallah, 18 at the time, was unloading camping gear from his car in the driveway of the family's home in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a city in Montreal's West Island, when a man with a gun arrived. The lawsuit says the man, Nackeal Hickey, fleeing police, threatened the family and asked them for the keys to their vehicle. Pursuing police officers arrived, Hickey opened fire in the direction of the officers and a gunfight ensued. Abdel-Rahman, and his father, Houssam, 52 at the time, were shot. The family says Abdel-Rahman was hit once near the spine and Houssam was struck six times as he dove to protect his son and his daughter, who was also outside. But the family says Abdel-Rahman and Houssam lay on the ground wounded for an hour with no medical care for nearly an hour. "During this hour that seems to last an eternity, Abdel-Rahman, despite the pain he feels, talks to his father Houssam about his pain and misery, to see if he is alive and to encourage him to remain conscious," the lawsuit says. Officers then handcuffed the two men "without the officers providing them with the care they needed, while they were still on the ground, and without giving them any explanation as to why they had been arrested," according to the lawsuit. The men were finally brought to hospital in separate ambulances, they say. But since the shooting, the family says they have been living a nightmare. Houssam and Abdel-Rahman live with the effects of the gunshot wounds they suffered. Houssam underwent multiple surgeries and remains scarred and lacks feeling in his left leg. He needs to take medication. Quebec's Crown prosecution office announced in June it would not lay charges against Montreal police officers in the case, following an investigation by the province's police watchdog. Their lawsuit says police used excessive and negligent force when they fired approximately 40 shots in a residential area during their gunfight with Hickey. They also say police failed to act quickly enough to prevent Hickey from fleeing, gun in hand, toward the family. They also allege police violated their rights when they arrested Houssam and Abdel-Rahman. They say Abdel-Rahman was racially profiled when police handcuffed him, assuming he was a suspect. The family's other members have also suffered psychologically since the shooting and are requesting damages. Prosecutors filed 15 criminal charges against Hickey, including four counts of attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm, robbery and breaching bail conditions. Hickey was arrested in July in a separate case and charged with breaking and entering. He was out on bail when the police say he fired on officers and sparked the gunfight.
