ORANGE, Calif.—“When I moved here, Orange was the second-safest city of its size,” said Eugene Fields, who is running for a city council seat in Orange, California.
“The new FBI numbers have come out, and we are number 26 on that list,” he said. “There are some areas that the City of Inglewood is safer than the city of Orange. I’m very concerned about that.” Inglewood, California, is an economically stressed part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area long fraught with gang violence.
