Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), said in a statement that “it is indefensible that trained Los Angeles police officers could open fire in a crowded store at the height of Christmas shopping without first knowing for sure if the suspect was armed.”

LULAC noted that the shooting happened in a section of Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley that is heavily Latino-populated. “We will not allow open season on Latinos by LAPD,” Garcia said.
