LOS ANGELES, CA — Mayor Pete Buttigieg has canceled events related to his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination through at least Wednesday, including a two-day visit to the Los Angeles area, to remain in South Bend, Indiana, to deal with the aftermath of a fatal officer-involved shooting, his campaign confirmed.

Buttigieg had been scheduled to conduct a series of fundraisers and what the campaign described as a ``policy rollout" in the Los Angeles area Tuesday and Wednesday.

Buttigieg also canceled a planned speech at the Democratic National Committee's LBGTQ Gala in New York City Monday night.
