City Attorney Statement on Northridge Tragedy:
Los Angeles– It is with shock and profound sadness that we announce that today Deputy City Attorney Eric Lertzman was involved in a tragic incident which we understand resulted in the death of his wife, his adult son and himself.
Details are evolving, though early reports indicate police were called to the family home because of a domestic disturbance.
Lertzman joined the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office in 2005.“This is a horrible tragedy. As we search for answers to how this could happen, we mourn the victims and envelop those left behind with our love during this time of unbearable loss. Of course we will provide members of our City Attorney Family with needed counseling and support.” – Mike Feuer, City Attorney
