Palm Beach Post reporter Charles Elmore has this breaking news from last night (Sunday), “Breaking: Four wounded in Lake Worth, Pahokee shootings”, an excerpt:
The Lake Worth shooting occurred about 9 p.m. near Seventh Avenue North and Federal Highway, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies responding to a shots-fired call found a victim struck by gunfire.
There was no immediate word on the victim’s condition or a suspect.
This shooting occurred just a few blocks from where a CBS12/WPEC reporter had this recent news segment,
“Guardian Angels take over Lake Worth”:
CBS12 Luli Ortiz joined them as they canvassed the First Presbyterian Church along North Federal Highway, which according to the Guardian Angels, it’s the site of prostitution and drug-related crimes.
They call themselves the ‘Wolf Pack’ . . . Residents tell CBS12 they feel safer with the Angels around.
“It’s nice to know there are people out there who are watching our backs and taking care of things,” said Leona Navaroli, Lake Worth resident.
And lastly, more information from The Lake Worth Herald datelined December 29th titled, “Guardian Angels Find New Home”:
The Guardian Angels are back. They were welcomed in Lake Worth during the early 1980’s. In 1975, Curtis Sliwar [sic] was the founder and CEO. When you meet [Lake Worth GA Chapter organizers] Cobra and Sensi, you know they are on a mission for a safer community. Cobra is a chapter leader for the South Florida Guardian Angels.
