Booby traps targeting California police lead to $200K reward offer

A string of "brazen attempts" to kill members of a gang task force in Riverside, California, has led to a $200,000 reward for information. Authorities hope the reward will encourage people to come forward with information related to three booby traps targeting members of the Hemet Gang Task Force, part of a countywide initiative dedicated to combating gang-related violence in Riverside. "These brazen attempts to kill police officers in the line of duty are an outrage and even a form of urban terrorism. Our brave men and women in uniform put their lives on the line every day to keep our streets safe," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Thursday. "We urge anyone with information on the attacks to come forward immediately."
