Officer Shot with Ghost Gun in Exposition Park Incident

Los Angeles police report that a ghost gun was used in the shooting of an officer in Exposition Park on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. at Martin Luther King Jr. Park, where officers patrolling the area initiated a pursuit after spotting 26-year-old Ernesto Sepulveda riding a bicycle. During the chase, Sepulveda allegedly fired on the officers, striking one in the legs while also grazing him on the cheek. Fortunately, the officer is in stable condition following treatment.

Police recovered an untraceable 9mm Polymer-80 ghost gun from the scene, emphasizing the growing concern over these weapons. Sepulveda, who continued to flee and fired at backup officers, was ultimately apprehended after a brief foot chase. Following his hospitalization for a head injury, he was booked and remains in custody on a $1 million bail. The details of this incident highlight both the dangers faced by law enforcement and the implications of ghost guns in urban violence.
