Video After The Jump
GRANADA HILLS, Calif. (KABC) -- The husband of the Los Angeles district attorney is accused of pulling a gun on Black Lives Matter activists in a video captured outside of their Granada Hills home Monday morning, just one day before Tuesday's primary.
A man - who protesters identified as David Lacey, the husband of L.A.'s chief prosecutor Jackie Lacey - wielded what appeared to be a handgun while threatening to shoot the protesters if they did not leave the property.
The disturbing video was tweeted Monday morning by Melina Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter organizer. The footage was also tweeted by Jasmyne Cannick, a candidate for Los Angeles County Central Committee, which is composed of volunteers for the Los Angeles County Democratic Party.
Cannick said in a tweet that the group was protesting Lacey in front of her house after she allegedly failed to meet with Black Lives Matter. During the protest, her husband opened the door and threatened to shoot Abdullah, who is heard speaking off-camera.
"I will shoot you. Get off of my porch!" he said.
"Can you tell Jackie Lacey that we're here?" Abdullah said.
"I don't care who you are," the man said while lowering the gun. "Get off of my porch! Right now!"
The man identified as David Lacey then said he was calling the police as he closed the door.
Los Angeles police responded to the home. Authorities say no arrests were made, but an investigation is ongoing.
