Neighborhood too dangerous for mail delivery, post office says

Posted

GLASSELL PARK, CA (KCAL/KCBS/CNN) -  You've heard it before: "Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night," will stop the Postal Service from its rounds. But what about a hail of bullets?

A Los Angeles neighborhood is not receiving mail because of recent gunfire. The Postal Service has posted signs telling residents of the decision. 

Meanwhile, residents are gathering their correspondence at a nearby station.  “It’s a little bit frustrating, especially working two jobs and trying to go to school, “ said Christian Rubio, a neighborhood resident. 

The post office will start delivering mail to the affected areas after its investigation has been concluded.

A postal worked had to run and duck for cover in June, and the mail carrier’s truck was hit by shots.
