It was a busy day for law enforcement and other service officials on Memorial Day Weekend, which included shootings, deaths, a sinking boat, and an escaped inmate.

Late Monday evening, police report a security guard might have fired a shot at a bottle-throwing suspect around 8:30 p.m. in the 7100 block of West Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. No one was hit and the suspect is in custody, says Los Angeles police Officer Sara Faden.

A pot discovery was made in Covina. Police there reportedly seized more than 200 marijuana plants on Monday from a grow house in the San Gabriel Valley city.

In Long Beach, a deputy from the Sheriff’s Compton station was shot in the stomach, and a suspect was shot dead, as gunfire rang out in a North Long Beach neighborhood on May 26. The deputy underwent surgery and emerged in stable condition, said Deputy Peter Gomez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept.

Several miles north in Lincoln Heights, a man was shot to death, police said. The shooting was reported just before 1 p.m. in the 3600 block of Pasadena Avenue, said Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Dept.’s Media Relations Section.

Over in Compton, at least two people were wounded in a car-to-car shooting Monday morning, a sheriff’s lieutenant said. The shooting was reported at 4:42 a.m. at Long Beach Boulevard and Pine Street, said Lt. Walid Ashrafnia at the Compton’s Sheriff’s Station.

Up in the Angeles National Forest, corrections officers were looking for a minimum-security inmate who escaped from a conservation camp overnight on the east fork of the San Gabriel River, in the mountains above Azusa. Kevin Shann, 40, was last seen during a routine security check at 10:25 p.m. on Sunday in his assigned dorm at the Julius Klein Conservation Camp, located at 22550 East Fork Road. He was reported missing an hour later, according to a statement from the California Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

On Monday afternoon, firefighters rescued four people from a sinking boat off the coast of San Pedro, according to the Los Angeles Fire Dept. The incident was reported at 1:12 p.m. and within 20 minutes, a rescue team arrived in LAFD boats, said spokesperson Katherine Main.

Two of the people wounded at a Friday night shooting in Bellflower died from their wounds on Monday, according to the Los Angeles County Dept. of Coroner. German Booker, 25, whose city of residence was unknown, died at the scene, according to Coroner’s Investigator Kristy McCracken.

Meanwhile, in the Orange County city of Buena Park, a 25-year-old Anaheim man was found shot to death in front of a home and police were asking for the public’s help in finding out why it happened, a sergeant said.    Police received a call of shots fired near California and Washington streets at 2:39 a.m. on Sunday, according to Buena Park police Sgt. Frank Nunes.
