Deadly Explosion Hits Los Angeles Sheriff Training Center, Three Deputies Killed
An explosion at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) training facility in East Los Angeles has killed at least three deputies, prompting an immediate emergency response and FBI involvement. The incident occurred around 7:30am at the Biscailuz Training Center, with officials emphasizing the need for urgent investigation into the cause.
The blast, which rocked the facility early Friday morning, has led to an evacuation and multi-agency coordination. The FBI’s Los Angeles field office confirmed its involvement, while local authorities are working to determine the exact cause. An accident reportedly occurred while deputies were handling ordnance on the training facility grounds.
In a post on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed her condolences for the victims, calling the incident a “horrific” event and urging the public to support the families of the deceased. Officials have emphasized the importance of heightened safety protocols following the incident, which comes as public concerns over dangerous materials in urban areas continue to mount.
The incident is being investigated in light of recent similar concerns, including a separate incident involving commercial-grade fireworks that ignited a massive residential blaze in Los Angeles. Details about the cause of the blast remain limited, with officials emphasizing the urgency of the ongoing investigation.
