On the evening of November 17th, a possible hostage situation at the Ganton Gentlemen’s club resulted in a homicide investigation.
The criminals involved are currently known. However, on the same scene, a cyan four door sedan approached officers on the perimeter. One male leaned out of the vehicle, firing shots towards officers. The vehicle then sped off into the sunset, leaving several officers returning fire.
While the investigation and scene wasn’t bad enough, the officers who were working to keep the public safe, were also subject to shooting of their own.
Detectives gave chase on the vehicle through Ganton. It was also confirmed that the vehicle contained three individuals, all masked for the occasion.
Short Chase To East Los Santos
Following the initial shots fired, they got a report of additional shots fired. This resulted in a short chase to East Los Santos, just outside of the police station. The male shot towards officers and they returned fire, with one officer getting hit with shots.
Following the shots fired, one male was down. The status of this male is unknown, however he looked to be in a bad way. This was a result of the gunshots between the officers and the suspect.
Shortly afterwards, a male appeared with a Wooden Baseball Bat. He proceeded to run towards officers, hitting several officers with his bat. Officer Swanson was a victim of the bat attack, resulting in serious injury. The extent of the injuries are unknown at this time.
We are investigating this matter further. However, it seems they could be linked to the Ganton Homicide.
