Security Officer Dies From Self-Inflicted Gunshot On Duty
Los Angeles CA May 9 2018
Police are investigating the shooting of a security officer who was working overnight.
The security guard was in the Pacoima area and died today from an apparently accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The shooting occurred shortly after midnight on the 9800 block of San Fernando Road, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Alejandro Jaramillo, 33, of Pacoima died at the scene, the coroner’s office reported.
The circumstances of the death were under investigation.
NOTE:
Each year, Private Officer International verifies 6-15 suicides of security personnel but that number is significantly higher because most suicides do not make the media.
