00:58Whoever needs Spanish, let's go off right here.
01:28One more.
01:35This morning, shortly after 7.30 a.m., an explosion occurred at our Special Enforcement Bureau.
01:43Arson Explosives Detail Facility located in the 1,000 block of Northeastern Avenue in East Los Angeles, which is right behind this hill.
01:52Tragically, there were three sworn members who were fatally killed that were assigned to our arson explosives detail.
02:02No other department members were injured or transported to any hospitals.
02:09This is, unfortunately, the largest loss of life for us as the L.A. County Sheriff's Department since 1857.
02:20Between all three sworn members, they had served our community proudly for 74 years, and that's amongst all three of them collectively.
02:3119 years, 22 years, and 33 years.
02:38There's a lot more that we don't know than what we do know, but our intent is to look at this from the very beginning and figure out what is it exactly that caused this tragic event.
02:53Currently, our homicide detectives are on scene, and they are investigating the deaths that are being, and we are being assisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who are investigating the post-blast portion of this incident.
03:11The Enforcement Bureau, they're the best of the best, and the individuals who work our arson explosives detail, they have years of training.
03:22And these members, usually, the average calls that they go to in dealing with some very dangerous situations or items, average about 1,100 per year.
03:37So these aren't people who don't do this very often.
03:40They are fantastic experts, and unfortunately, I lost three of them today.
03:52I'm not going to be two of them today!
03:53They are amazing and wonderful experts, and you can see them on a train of win.
03:58Thank you very much, everybody.
04:01I hope you got me going back in the next video.
04:05So here's my next video.
04:07Thank you for joining us today.
04:10I'll see you guys…
04:11I'm gonna be a decent one too, and I'm gonna be a good one too.
