Slain South Carolina Deputy Mourned
A South Carolina sheriff's deputy who died from wounds suffered in a mass shooting earlier this month was remembered Sunday at her funeral as a dedicated peace officer who always had a smile. The funeral for Florence County Sheriff's Investigator Farrah Turner, 36, drew relatives and colleagues together along with law enforcement representatives from around the country. Turner was part of a team that investigated sex crimes against children, a job her boss Sheriff Kenney Boone called one of the hardest on the force. "She dedicated her life to serving the victims of the worst crimes imaginable," Boone said when he announced her death earlier.

A man who grabbed an LAPD officer's stun gun during an altercation inside a Hollywood gym locker room was fatally shot by police Monday morning, authorities said. The incident began to unfold about 8:10 a.m., when Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a battery call at the 24 Hour Fitness gym at 6380 Sunset Blvd., at a complex where the ArcLight theater is also located. The suspect was apparently involved in some sort of confrontation with an employee at the gym, which promoted the 911 call, Detective Meghan Aguilar said. Authorities later said he had been a former member of the gym and was believed to be homeless. Responding officers found the man inside the locker room of the gym and the officers were in an altercation with the suspect. The suspect allegedly "gained control" of an officer's Taser and the man was shot by police, Aguilar said.

Lawsuit Seeks To Overturn Plan That Would Allow Taller Buildings Along The Metro Expo Line
A Westside nonprofit has sued the city of Los Angeles, seeking to overturn a plan that would allow the construction of up to 6,000 new apartment and condominium units within a half-mile of five Metro Expo Line stations. The advocacy group Fix the City argued in a complaint filed Thursday that Los Angeles should not have approved the Expo Line density plan without first assessing and fixing West L.A.'s “overburdened and inadequate infrastructure.” In court filings and in the blueprint that governs citywide development decisions, Los Angeles officials made a “binding commitment” to ensure that streets, sidewalks and public services are adequate before allowing further growth, the lawsuit said.
