Friends Rally to Support of Wounded LAPD Officer
Former teammates and fellow officers rallied Monday to the support of a Los Angeles policewoman who was wounded in a deadly shoot-out with an alleged car thief outside her Santa Clarita home.
Officer Stacy Lim, 27, was reported improved but still in a “seriously guarded condition” at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia, where she underwent two operations to remove a bullet and stop internal bleeding.
About 20 of Lim’s former teammates on the Cal State Northridge women’s softball team gathered in a vigil at the hospital. At Northeast Division station, where she is assigned, twice as many officers as usual--prompted in part by the shooting--donated in a routine blood drive.
Meanwhile, three suspects in what police described as an attempt to steal Lim’s Ford Bronco truck early Saturday morning are scheduled to be arraigned today on various charges. A fourth youth, Joel Garcia Valenzuela of Highland Park, died in a gunfight with Lim.
