Los Angeles police and the sheriff's department said in an advisory Tuesday that significant numbers of people are still shooting weapons into the air, despite a campaign to stop the practice.
In 1999, 9-year-old Brian Perez died while playing in the front yard of his home after someone in the area shot a weapon into the sky.
Anyone caught shooting in celebration could have their weapon confiscated and face a felony charge.
In Compton, sheriff's deputies will deploy technology that can pinpoint gunfire to within a few feet of where the shots were fired.
