Randal Simmons LAPD Swat
A gunman killed three apparent relatives and Randal Simmons veteran SWAT officer and wounded
another officer in the face before police shot him to death early today in a
home that erupted in flames during a long standoff.
"Today's a sad and tragic day here in the city of Los Angeles," said an emotional Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who revealed that both officers, 20 year veterans of SWAT, were assigned to protect his children last year.
