It was gangland back in the day in that neighborhood. Crips and Bloods would shoot at each other.
What goes up, goes down and a USC player got shot at practice one day. The gunfire went up and
when it came down, it was on the field where football practice was going on.
I just googled it and didn't get any hits, but that was way back in the early 80's, I think.
Anyone on the board that lived in the L.A. area at that time can confirm this as it was headline news
at the time.
