Los Angeles Jews and Israelis rally support for Republican candidates; Police arrest spectator for pointing rifle

L.A. journalist-reported rumors about an alleged shooting overshadowed positive press-coverage of the first L.A. pro-Republican motor-parade in L.A.  On August 30th near the San Fernando Valley, eyewitnesses had reported seeing a rifle drawn against pro-Trump paraders - by an intolerant local resident and heard a popping, but no-one had gotten hurt. Yet, over 100 people in scores of vehicles expressed exuberance along a long stretch of Ventura Blvd to the elation of most watchers along the route. By September 10th, the police had made an arrest of the alleged, intolerant rifle-brandisher.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division arrested a 28 year old man for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, which occurred during a Pro-Trump parade in the Woodland Hills Community of Los Angeles.

On Monday, August 31, 2020, at approximately 11:20 a.m., several vehicles participating in a Pro-Trump parade were stopped in front of the Avalon Woodland Hills Apartments at 20544 Ventura Blvd, in the Los Angeles Police Department's Topanga Area. Suspects in a nearby apartment began to shout and throw glass bottles at the rally participants. One of the suspects then pointed a rifle at a participant, who was shouting back at their taunts.

Responding officers and a SWAT team wound up surrounding the apartment, believing the suspects might be holed up inside. Following an hours-long barricade, the SWAT team made its way into the apartment about 5:30 p.m. and found no one inside, but recovered a rifle during the search, according to the LAPD.

No suspects were located at the time of the incident, but a rifle was recovered, pursuant to a search of the apartment.
