Pasadena Bus Stop Shooting: Teenager Shot in Eye During Drive-by BB Gun Incident

Glock 45 pistol.

In Pasadena, a 16-year-old boy from Los Angeles was shot in the eye with a BB gun at a bus stop on Lincoln Avenue and Wyoming Street.

The incident occurred when a beige 2002 Honda Civic stopped in front of the bus stop, and a 17-year-old passenger began shooting at the people waiting.

The victim was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital, and the investigation is ongoing.

Stay Cozy and Safe: Fireplace and Chimney Safety Tips from the Pasadena Fire Department

In response to the recent cold weather leading to increased fireplace use, the Pasadena Fire Department has compiled essential safety tips for fireplace and chimney use.

These tips include inspecting the chimney before use, covering it with a spark arrester, and maintaining a 10ft clearance from combustible vegetation.

For solid fuel fireplaces, securing logs before starting the fire, using proper fuel, and employing appropriate tools are emphasized.

Gas fireplace safety measures include installation by a licensed contractor, keeping the damper open during use, and being vigilant for unusual odors or rapid changes in flame appearance.

Additionally, a comprehensive checklist covering aspects such as fire supervision, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and proper disposal of ashes is provided.
