Local Action Up-Date

Possibly behind their fucking paywall, so it's all here.
A man was arrested after a two-hour standoff with police Thursday night for firing a gun from his Koreatown apartment at a man on the street, police said.

The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was booked on an attempted-murder charge after leaving his apartment on the 200 block of South Normandie Avenue, LAPD Sgt. Dominic Counts said.

Earlier in the evening, the man had argued from his second-floor apartment with another man who stood on the street in front of the apartment complex, Counts said. The suspect then allegedly fired a shot at the man on the street.

Police arrived and surrounded the building, and attempted to contact the alleged shooter in his apartment. Eventually, after a standoff lasting more than two hours, he left the apartment and was arrested, Counts said.
One round fired, & there were two police helos, the Fire Dep't. & Traffic Enforcement diverting cars?

Speaking of their fucking paywall, anyone know where we can get an extension/add-on/whatnot that will enable freedom of speech vis-à-vis the LAT?

Bugmenot may work for them. Doesn't work for the NYTimes any more.

Duh Editor:
Hmmm ... forgot that, probably because the last few times we used it (a while) it didn't come through.

Have an NYT extension for chrome that works, 'though who cares about The NYT, but sometimes we need local info.
