A WORD...OR TWO...OR THREE...

HERE WE GO AGAIN...PART..???

So,, now it was a bank in Louisville, Kentucky. And 5 more were killed...15 mass shootings...just in the month of April...146 total so far this year. And...more than 11, 500 souls lost so far...

I have always been an advocate of stopping gun violence in this country, and especially here in North Hollywood. But since the Monterey Park mass shooting, my home town, I've become obsessed with educating as many people as possible in how to survive a mass shooting. Because...let's face it, these incidents won't stop until some important ways of thinking change.

Until then, I want to know as much as possible to survive this...and to teach you all how to survive it too.

I'm very excited to be able, on behalf of the UCNH Chamber of Commerce, to produce this event, "No Lives Lost NoHo." We will be able to educate the community on a grander scale on what to do in the event of a mass shooting, and not only that, but to learn the psyche of a mass shooter. Please do everything in your power to attend this event. The information you learn tonight may just save your life, the lives of those around you, and the lives of the friends and loved ones that you in turn, can educate.

The event starts at 6 P.M....we'll be there. I hope you will be too.

On behalf of the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce...
