LE states that, as of this past Tuesday, Officer James Veenstra of our local S.W.A.T. Team had been transferred from Northridge Hospital to County USC-Medical Center. He is now said to be holding on quite well, recovering, before rehabilitating, comfortably at his home. He is married to L.A.P.D. Captain Michelle Veenstra. He was shot in the jaw during the Winnetka Tragedy of February the 6th, where a total of 5 were slain. Those 5 fatalities include that of the original shooter, the perpetrator, 20 year old Edwin Rivera. Rivera had suffered from mental illness. Word is, part of Veenstra's jaw had to be removed. More updates on Veenstra's recovery to come. Watch for them here. We wish you well, Officer Veenstra, along with your family! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication, along with bravery. You are a true hero. Sincerely, The Roads' Family News Center -SD
"It's quite likely he will not require any additional surgeries to deal with his injuries," Chief William Bratton told the Police Commission early Tuesday.
