Discharge of Firearm at Linda Mar Beach Parking Lot

Last night at approximately 6:32 p.m., officers responded to Lot A of the Linda Mar Beach Parking Lot after a man sustained a gunshot wound inside a parked vehicle.

The investigation determined that the 28-year-old man accidentally discharged a firearm, resulting in a self-inflicted, non-life-threatening injury. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No one else was inside the vehicle.

Officers recovered a loaded semi-automatic pistol and seized it as evidence. Based on the investigation, officers are seeking charges related to carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle and failing to register an out-of-state firearm in California.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pacifica Police Department at 650-738-7314 and reference case number 26-1746.

🏆Pacifica Officers Honored at MADD Awards🏆

We are proud to recognize Officer Ana Correa and Officer Adrian Colmenares, who were recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for their outstanding DUI enforcement efforts. 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️🚔

Officer Correa and Officer Colmenares led the department in DUI arrests and played an important role in protecting the City of Pacifica community from the dangers of impaired driving.

We said we would be out, and we meant it.🚫🎆

PPD officers are actively enforcing fireworks laws throughout the City of Pacifica and using drone technology to identify active violations.

Special thanks to our observant community members for reporting active violations and helping us respond where we are needed most.

Illegal fireworks are not harmless. They create fire danger, injure people, terrify pets, impact veterans and residents with PTSD, and place unnecessary strain on emergency services.
