Explosion kills 3 LASD deputies at East LA facility
Sources say the explosive had been brought back from a seemingly routine bomb squad call, and it was believed to be inactive.
Three members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Arson/Explosives Detail were killed Friday morning in an explosion at a training facility in the City Terrace area of East Los Angeles, authorities said.
The incident, which was believed to be an accident, was reported around 7:30 a.m. at the Biscailuz Training Facility in the 1000 block of North Eastern Avenue, LASD said. The compound houses the sheriff’s department’s special enforcement units and bomb squad.
Multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told ABC News that it appears the explosive that detonated had been brought back to the facility from a seemingly routine bomb squad callout and was believed to have been inert when it exploded.
Three LASD members assigned to the agency’s Arson/Explosives Detail were killed in the blast, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a late-morning news conference.
The sheriff declined to publicly identify the victims — whom he described as “heroes” and “the best of the best” — citing family members who were still being informed of the deaths. Between the three of them, the deceased employees had served in the department for 74 years, according to Luna.
He said the catastrophe marked LASD’s worst loss of life in a single incident since 1857. No one else was injured in the explosion.
Luna said the cause of the disaster was unknown, adding that the devices involved were rendered safe by responding members of the Los Angeles Police Department’s bomb squad.
