Councilmember Bernard C. Parks is not related to Christopher Dorner
Despite
an erroneous report by KFI Radio, Councilmember Bernard C. Parks is not
related to fugitive and suspected killer, former Los Angeles Police
Department Officer Christopher Dorner.
Parks' office began
receiving calls from several media outlets this morning asking if there
was any relation between the Councilmember and Dorner. And, the office
emphatically responded in each case that there is-- in fact-- no
relation.
However, KFI broadcast an unconfirmed and untrue
statement that Parks and Dorner are related. KFI has since retracted
that statement.
To state once again, in no uncertain terms, the two men are not related.
"The effort by our local media in following this non-story while three
people are dead and two others are wounded is extremely reckless and
insensitive," Parks said. "In their rush to be first they have only
proven to be the absolute worst. The only people lower are the ones that
created and helped spread this gossip."
