[edit] Comment
I will admit to being a sceptic, so I fact-checked the crime graf. Only a moment with Google brought up this and other accounts. I post it here in case future editors doubt the veracity of the interrogation. -Willmcw 08:55, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
"Drive-by Shooting Kills Pacoima Man" http://www.lapdonline.org/press_releases/2002/09/pr02502.htm LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT PRESS RELEASE Friday, September 6, 2002 Los Angeles: On Thursday, September 5, 2002, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Foothill Area patrol officers responded to a "shots fired" radio call in the 13400 block of Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima. Upon arrival, the officers discovered a shooting victim, Silverio Luna, a 22 year-old resident of Pacoima. Witnesses at the scene said that an unknown type grey vehicle pulled up adjacent to Luna, who was a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The front passenger said "Where you from?" and as Luna began to respond, a shot was fired from the car. Luna, struck in the head, fell to the sidewalk. The suspects fled the scene and have not been identified.
[edit] Good morning, Pacoima!
Almost every morning when I'm listening to the traffic reports on KNX (AM), the helicopter reporter covering the 5 over Pacoima says, in a very enthusiastic way, "Good morning, Pacoima!" The consistent way he says it led me to think it was a quotation or allusion (a line from a movie or something), but I can't find the phrase on Google. Any ideas? Am I smoking crack? -- Coneslayer 15:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps it is an allusion to Good Morning, Vietnam. -- Beland 20:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
