So. Cal Edison shootings have me working around the clock for Los Cerritos Community News....

It is 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. Just got woke up by Lois Bitter-Bruce, media spokeswoman for Southern California Edison. "Randy, this is Lois, you called about the shootings?" Not the first words any reporter or journalist wants to wake up to. Please keep everyone at Edison in your thoughts and prayers. These are real people with incredible sadness to deal with. More later. Going back to bed.... R


"This is just very, very sad," Edison company spokeswoman Lois Biitter-Bruce.
