A man from Los Angeles was accused of attempting to kill with separate shooting in Santa Monica last week, including an attack on a police officer and shooting earlier, who were in teenage boys riding in a Readeshary.
David John Hurton faces a total of seven criminal charges, including three charges of attempted murder and a multiple charge related to firearms, after what the authorities described as two unjustified violence on June 22 and June 25.
According to the Los Angeles County Prosecutor’s Office, the shooting was unveiled on June 25 after an investigator, and worked in the case that included teenage victims, Hairston monitored near Santa Monica Place. The officer Palra came to help but was claimed that he was shot by Hairston during the meeting. The officer was struck in the hand and was treated for life -threatening injuries. While the suspect escaped on foot and was arrested several hours later in the Palsds park after searching by the respondents.
The shooting occurred a few days after Hairston fired on two minors, between the ages of 14 and 16, while they were passengers in an independent vehicle. This accident occurred around 11:30 pm on June 22, near the intersection of the second street and Broadway in the center of Santa Monica. Adolescents were also wounded by life.
“Our hearts go out to the officer Palra, the two small victims and their families who were meaningless during these attacks,” the provincial lawyer, Nathan Hashman, said in a statement. “Violence in our society – especially against our children and those who risk their lives to protect us – is unacceptable. We are committed to accounting the suspect.”
Prosecutors claim that Hairston acted with discrimination and intention in all three shootings. In addition to the murder attempt, he faces one charge of an automatic firearm on a peace officer, two accusations of attacking with a near -automatic firearm, and the charge of shooting at an occupied car. The charges include special allegations that they are personally and deeply emptying a pistol.
During the accusations of Hairston on Friday at the Hollywood Court, defense lawyers raised concerns about his mental efficiency. The judge suspended criminal procedures pending the evaluation of psychiatry. A hearing is scheduled for July 14. The guarantee was determined by $ 4 million.
The case is being sued by Deputy Prosecutor Stephen Lonseth from the police officers department and remains under investigation by the Santa Monica Police Department.
If he is convicted of all charges, Hairston faces the maximum of 104 years in the state prison.
