File it under WTF
You are in a tight race for DA and you want to be elected -- re-elected, in fact. So what does your spouse do?
Hannah Fry and James Queally (LOS ANGELES TIMES) report:
The husband of Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey pulled a gun on protesters outside the home of the county’s top prosecutor early Monday morning, further heightening a tense primary over the district attorney’s job.
Video from the scene shows a man standing in Lacey’s doorway in Granada Hills pointing a gun and shouting, “I will shoot you. Get off of my porch.”
Protesters identified Lacey’s husband as the man who was holding the gun. District attorney spokeswoman Shiara Davila-Morales confirmed Lacey’s husband, David, brandished the weapon at the group who rang his doorbell. David Lacey is a retired investigative auditor for the D.A.'s bureau of investigation.
