Me and my wife were thinking of buying a home in Lompoc but this kind of stuff is the reason why I’m hesitant about that, I am Mexican with tattoos I don’t want to be a victim of mistaken identity, sad that it happens more often now days, RIP of the story is true
I hear ya, Cadillac; I lived in Lompoc ’77 to ’83 and it was a great little town with friendly people and nice merchants. There were a few gangs, but virtually no shootings. Something went south and now illegal guns are everywhere – not just in Lompoc. Gangs are crankin out ‘ghost guns’ by the thousands and sell them to anybody with a few hundred in cash. Like you say, sad.
