Shots fired outside Tookie's funeral

Neither the L.A. Times nor the Daily News mentioned the gang tensions at Tookie Williams' funeral yesterday, but KPCC's Frank Stoltze did. His report included audio of some arguing between rival gang factions that were kept separated by Nation of Islam members. Clearly audible toward the end are three shots fired outside the church. No one was injured. Audio. (La Opinión did pick up on the gunplay.)
