LOS ANGELES (AP) – A Los Angeles city councilman says he will ask the council to approve a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who shot a school police officer.
Councilman Dennis Zine also said at a news conference Thursday that the Los Angeles Unified School District police officer’s association has offered a $5,000 reward, for a total of $80,000.
Chief Charlie Beck says investigators recovered forensic evidence from the scene of Wednesday’s shooting and hoped to recover fingerprints.
Officer Jeff Stenroos was shot in the chest Wednesday when he confronted a man suspected of breaking into cars. His bulletproof vest saved his life.

The clock is ticking, they will get this dirtbag and bring him to justice. Hopefully the money will start some tongues to wagging.

Glad the vest saved the officer. And I hope they arrest this POS quickly before he has a chance to do it again.
