Jake and his EoW co-star got a close up look at LA gang violence last night while they were doing research for their movie.
UPDATE:
They were on a ride along with the LAPD 77th Street Station officers in South LA . According to E!News they "had been doing some real-life research for the roles, shadowing cops on patrol overnight.
They wound up getting too close for comfort when the officers they were with took the pair to the Summer Night Lights event in South Los Angeles—a program supposed to reduce gang violence by keeping public parks open late and offering food and activities, per Los Angeles officials.
The actors were at the scene in Van Ness Park when the shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m., according to LAPD Sgt. Angela McGee."
