7th Person Arrested in Party Shoot-Out

A seventh person was arrested in connection with what detectives characterized as a racially motivated shoot-out at a Tarzana party that left four people injured, Los Angeles police said Monday.

Michael Anello, 19, of Encino was arrested Sunday on suspicion of attempted murder in the Friday night gunfight that erupted between a white supremacist gang and a black gang at a house party in the 4700 block of Hermano Drive, Detective Joe Diglio said.

Anello, who was acting as a bouncer at the racially mixed party attended by about 200 people, allegedly pulled a gun and fired it during the confused shoot-out in the street outside the house, Diglio said. Four people were wounded in the cross-fire.

According to police, a member of the white supremacist gang shouted “white power” and opened fire with a shotgun during the party. As party-goers scattered into the street, white gang members exchanged gunfire with black gang members, police said.
