A woman was in stable condition Friday after being shot in the head by a man fighting with her husband at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Baldwin Park, police said.

The woman, whose name was not released, was sitting in a car outside First Presbyterian Church of Baldwin Park on Stewart Avenue about 7:30 p.m. Thursday, according to a police report.

A fistfight erupted between her husband and another man at the meeting, which rents space from the church but is not connected to it, church officials said. The fight then spilled out into the parking lot.

One of the men pulled a handgun and fired at the other. The bullet missed the intended victim and hit the woman, according to the report.

8. This is DU and so a story must be posted more than 3 times over 3 days

before it can be considered duplicate. Plus, search is for sissies. If a story is new to you, that means nobody else has heard about it either, so post away.

9. thank goodness for the post police...

what would du do without them? :rollseyes:

16. Ha, it got locked before I could say anything. I'll try to post here.

This is the first time I saw the OP.

We need a spelling alert button, too. Hey, that other guy wrote it wrong! Oh, my eyes!

I smiled as I wrote that. I hope you are, too.

:rofl:

Meanwhile, back to the OP, I'm glad they didn't blame Occupy.

11. Hey that's my thread, don't refer to my thread in the Gun forum as related to his LBN thread

:wtf:

[ProgressiveProfessor]

14. Why not?

Same cited source, same topic...

[CreekDog]

25. different forum --you were dishonest when you acted like it was something they should've seen

:wtf:

13. Thank you, teacher.

3. Yeah, Concealed Carry saved the day.... No wait!

10. You really think he was legally carrying?

Hard to imagine a state where it is harder to get a CCW permit - I doubt he was rich or famous.

[CreekDog]

12. but you think his carrying should've been legal anyway

:rofl:

[ProgressiveProfessor]

15. That depends what county you live in

Some are much easier than others and even LA County still accepts CCWs from other counties, despite threats not to at one point.

Rural counties in CA are much easier to get the sheriff to sign off. Kern has a particularly good reputation in that area, provided you live in unincorporated county territory and not in an incorporated city.

17. Not to be snide, hope she's well, but Oakland PD would use this as an excuse to shut down all AA

meetings. :sarcasm:

[Fumesucker]

18. Heh.. That's kind of what I was expecting when I clicked on the OP..

A sarcastic rant about OPD shutting down AA because of a shooting..

[RufusTFirefly]

21. That does it! All AA meetings throughout the country need to be shut down by authorities

According to those authorities' new OWS rule.

22. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

[jberryhill]
