White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama gathered with
relatives of officer Gerardo Hernandez at the Beverly Hilton Hotel
on Monday. Obama was in Los Angeles to attend Democratic Party
fundraisers.
Obama also met with TSA agents Tony Grigsby and James Speer, both of
whom were wounded in the shootings.
On Nov. 1, a gunman pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and
shot the TSA officers. Hernandez died from his wounds. Authorities
have said 23-year-old Paul Ciancia (see-AHN'-see-uh) had a vendetta
against the federal government and was targeting TSA officers.
Hernandez had a wife, Ana, and a 14-year-old son and 11-year-old
daughter. [Associated
