Olympic and Grand Ave
Less than lethal has been authorized. CS gas has been authorized by the Incident Commander.
Officers are being hit by industrial size fireworks and bottles.
Los Angeles police officials on X said officers had reported that industrial size fireworks and bottles were “being launched at them on Grand Ave between 9th St and Olympic Blvd,” leading an incident commander to authorize the use of less lethal munitions. A dispersal order was declared for the area of Olympic Boulevard and Grand Avenue a short time later.
A dispersal order had earlier been given for another crowd on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park and officers used horses and tear gas to try to disperse crowds.
LAPD had closed several streets around L.A. Live and Crypto.com Arena, where the Los Angeles Kings played the New Jersey Devils Saturday night, in anticipation of possible celebrations. The department also went on a citywide tactical alert shortly before 6 p.m.
A parade is scheduled to take place Monday, with the route starting along Broadway north of Temple Street, then turning westbound on Temple, southbound on Grand Avenue, westbound on Seventh Street then northbound on Figueroa Street before ending at Figueroa and 5th Street, according to a map posted by police on X.
LAPD also warned of road closures along the parade route Monday, with those potential closures starting as early as 7 a.m.
