🌱One Shot Dead + Balloon Causes Outage + Seafarers Vaccinated

Morning, neighbors! I'm here with today's issue of the Long Beach Daily.

I wanted y’all to start the week off with the fact Mayor Robert Garcia likes DC better than Marvel (check his personal Twitter), but instead there were two shootings, one of which was a homicide. There was also a significant power outage caused by balloons.

The Daily is made possible by local business, The Appliance Coach.
