Los Angeles police Lt. Thomas Zaku says Wednesday's early morning San Fernando Valley raid may have prevented tragedy. Nearly a dozen officers, serving a weapons search warrant on the Tarzana home, were looking for two shotguns and a handgun that federal records showed were registered to 31-year-old Mike Foreman. It was part of a gang unit probation check. Instead, the Los Angeles Daily News says officers found at least 21 high-powered firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, high-capacity magazines, body armor and gas masks. Many of the guns were loaded and some were outfitted with a bayonet and tripod. Foreman was arrested for investigation of weapons and probation violations. ___ Information from: (Los Angeles) Daily News, www.dailynews.com Print E-mail Share 0
