The Santa Monica Police have finally released an update to the BOY LINKED TO ARMED ROBBERY SHOOTS HIS HAND story we reported on Monday.
They are letting the public know that the "boy" was not an innocent victim like all the main stream news stations were reporting.
Here is the SMPD official statement:
On Monday, May 15, 2023, at 2:00 pm, the Santa Monica Police Department received a 911 call of an armed robbery that just occurred near the intersection of 3rd Street and Idaho Ave. The victim, a delivery driver, was threatened by two suspects, one of whom brandished a firearm and pointed it at the driver during the theft.
Approximately 20 minutes later, there was another call of shots fired in the 800 block of 2nd Street. Officers who were already in the area investigating the robbery soon learned that the second call was an accidental discharge of a firearm by one of the suspects involved in the incident at 3rd and Idaho Ave. The injured suspect shot himself in the hand while inside a residence. Officers responding to the shots fired call located the two robbery suspects inside the residence; both are juveniles.
The uninjured youth, a resident of Santa Monica, was booked at the Santa Monica Police Department and transported to juvenile hall. The injured suspect was transported to the hospital for treatment. He was released from the hospital the next day, booked at the SMPD, and also transported to juvenile hall.
Subsequent investigation of the incidents tied the two youth to multiple additional crimes that occurred in the area over the past few months, including residential and vehicle burglaries, auto theft, and a stabbing. They have both been charged with the robbery. Additional charges are pending.
Anyone with information pertaining to this incident or persons involved is strongly encouraged to contact SMPD Criminal Investigations during business hours at 310-458-8451.
A few things we left out of our breaking news story, was that the parents did not seemed to be shocked or even suprised, according to the eye witnesses (and from watchinmg their reactions in the video when they were toild what happened). Also, another witness said a man who seemed like he was the apartment manager came out and spoke to the parents, telling them the owner wants them gone. Good riddance, they were stealing from all over the neighborhood. F'em.

On Monday just before 3PM, Santa Monica Police responded to the 800 block of 2nd Street to a report of a gunshot wound. This is over in the Montana area of north Santa Monica.
Apparently, a "boy" shot himself in the hand. As he was being treated and taken to the hospital, the police discovered that he is linked to an armed robbery and a stolen vehicle (this information was overheard from the detectives conversations with the parents).
Several investigaters and the Forensics vehicles soon arrive to the scene and a search of the street facing apartment began.
A neighbor stated that the kid and his parents must have just moved in, because the aparment was vacant about two months ago.
Also overheard was that the boy will be going to juvenile hall.

Surf Shop Day Is Coming May 20th.
Surf Shop Day is the day to celebrate the independent retailers that helped build and continue to maintain the surf industry. These surf shops are where so many of us found our surf stoke, the euphoric smell of surf wax, neoprene wetsuits, and resin curing from a fresh batch of surfboards
The City of Malibu will be hosting a free outdoor screening of "21 Miles in Malibu," the documentary produced by Malibu resident Michel Shane, exploring the safety issue on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Friday, May 19, 7:30 PM at Malibu Bluffs Park.
The event will begin with a community discussion about PCH safety, with the screening beginning shortly after sunset. The film is a hybrid of personal stories of loss, the history of a loved place, and a cautionary tale of government indifference and citizen activism. The story is personal to the Shane family, who tragically lost their 13-year-old daughter Emily in 2010, who was struck by a motorist while walking along PCH.
The film by Shane Gang Pictures and the directors of "Enormous: The George Story" and the executive producer of "I, Robot," and "Catch Me If You Can" is intended for audiences 16 years old and older.
The event is free to attend, and tickets are not required. Malibu Bluffs Park is located at 24250 PCH at Malibu Canyon Road. Picnics, blankets, and chairs are welcome. No BBQs or alcohol allowed. For more information about the screening, visit www.MalibuCity.org/21Miles. For more information about the film and the project, visit www.21milesinmalibu.com.
May 4th, the Lost Hill Sheriff's Department towed the "UFO" RV & a van that had amassed over $4200 in unpaid parking tickets. The City of Malibu has been partnering with the Sheriffs on regular enforcement actions on RVs & oversized vehicles illegally parked overnight on PCH in Malibu, to maintain beach parking & access for all.
Who’s ready to dunk on 'em? Catch us at the White Men Cant Jump x Hoop Bus tomorrow, May 10.
