An officer involved shooting occurred in the 200 block of Mira Mar Avenue in the City of Long Beach on July 30, 2024 at 12:30 a.m.
The suspect involved in this incident has been identified as 26-year old Jason Geggie, an off-duty Los Angeles Police Officer. Geggie has been with the Department for one and a half years and is currently assigned to Central Traffic Division.
The Long Beach Police Department is handling both the criminal and officer involved shooting investigation and all calls will be referred to the Long Beach Police PIO at 562-570-5273. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Internal Affairs Group has initiated its own personnel investigation.
All the news said was that the LA Officer was "...walking down the street with a firearm." There's gotta be more to it than that!

Who in their right mind would be walking down the street at 12:30am holding a shotgun (the weapon according to the news)? Of course, there is going to be much more to this story.
Someone else must have called Long Beach PD to report this "armed suspect" otherwise, I'm sure this off-duty officer would not be still holding the shotgun when the LBPD officers made contact with him. If he was the one who called the PD, it would seem logical that he would describe what he was wearing so that he wouldn't be mistaken for a suspect.
Please include follow-up information on this story. I'm glad the off-duty officer is going to survive.

There is a lot more to what occurred. However, it would be best for the Long Beach PD to release a few more datails and hopefuly they will get posted so the public has a better understanding of this incident.

Trust me - the general public are not going to hear all the facts right now - Long Beach Police is doing major damage control...
