Report Of Single Possible Gunshot Closes Canyon Briefly
Written by 991KBU on July 14, 2018
Malibu Canyon Road was closed Thursday night.
One motorist reported hearing what sounded a single gunshot heard.
A sheriff’s helicopter and numerous units searched the canyon.
Nothing found.
Deputies on Friday said they were taking no chances … in light of the murder of a camper last month in the canyon.
There was a string of shooting reported more than a year ago.
They stopped a year ago.
Then … two reports of gunfire last June … one of them six days before the murder of Tristan Beaudette … in his tent.
Deputies have been careful to say they have not linked the incidents.
And last night … they are careful to say they cannot confirm that a gunshot was fired.
But again … the emphasize that only report came in .. and it was a report of one single loud noise.
