LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SHOW FOR DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW.

PALM SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT w/ Lt. Gustavo Araiza re; Currently assigned to Patrol.
– THEME FOR TODAY; The Terrorist bombing in Palm Springs May 17.
– DISCUSSION of his current assignment.
– DESCRIPTION of May 17 just before 11 AM, report of an explosion in Palm Springs. Many businesses, i.e. Denny’s, liquor store, homes were affected and damaged. Fire Dept. and PSPD, responded immediately. They determined who, what, where, and then called everyone to duty. The embroys, etc at clinic that was the target had their power restored immediately, due to the quick thinking of an FBI person.
– REPORT that since May 17 was a terrorist attack, the investigation has been turned over to the FBI. All factions of law enforcement responded and ARE working together. FBI, ATF, San Bernadino Sheriff Dept., most local police etc.,
– RESULTS that the bomber died in the explosion. Don’t want to “air” his name. Don’t want to ‘MARTYR” him. His mantra was something about “I didn’t give anyone permission to GIVE ME LIFE”. He lived in 29 Palms.
– REPORT on determining the motive, intent, possible suicide, and whether other people might be involved, etc. that will take some time.
– DISCUSSION of possible “copy cat” crimes.
– THANK LT. ARAIZA for his service!!!!
