LOS ANGELES—The mother of a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer who died after being injured in a training exercise has filed a lawsuit, claiming that her son was beaten to death in a simulated mob attack at the department’s Elysian Park Academy.
Attorney Bradley Gage said at a June 27 press conference that he’s demanding the video of the training incident and will sue for monetary damages on behalf of Shirley Huffman—who alleged in the lawsuit a wrongful death of the 32-year-old Houston Tipping, along with other civil violations.
