The husband of Los Angeles’s top prosecutor pulled a gun on Black Lives Matter activists outside his home and said, “I will shoot you,” while directly pointing his firearm at them, video shows.
David Lacey, the husband of the LA county district attorney, Jackie Lacey, opened his door Monday morning and threatened demonstrators with his gun, saying: “Get off of my porch. I will shoot you … I don’t care who you are … We’re calling the police right now.”
The footage captured the husband going back inside, at which point Melina Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter LA organizer who had knocked at the door, said: “He pulled a gun and pointed it at my chest.” He appeared to have his finger on the trigger.
An LA police spokesperson said police responded to a call for a disturbance and became aware of a “possible assault with a deadly weapon”, which is now under investigation.
