Investigators search for answers after attack that left two firefighters — including the gunman — dead and another wounded.
Fire officials and the community mourned the killing of a Los Angeles County firefighter at a station in Agua Dulce on Tuesday as investigators searched for answers in an attack that left a fire captain wounded and the gunman, also a firefighter, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.The attacker opened fire at Station 81 around 10:50 a.m., killing Carlon and wounding the captain, who tried to intercede and whose name has not been released.
“Generally speaking, the people on that shift would have a good working relationship,” he told The Times. “Obviously something went wrong with that relationship today.”“When it comes to being a father, when it comes to being a fireman, when it comes to being a mentor, there was nobody that could parallel that,”Osby described Carlon as “truly dedicated, one of our better firefighters, amazing, and a true loss to our department.
“Between emergency calls, the fire station must have felt like their safe haven,” she said. “Unfortunately that sense of safety has now been shattered.”
