"We're in a war zone, Dave."
Lemieux (from Predator 2)

Bill Lemieux[2] was a news reporter working for KNLA 3 who followed the escalating gang violence in Los Angeles in 1997.[1]

Biography[]

Lemieux was no stranger to war zones; before covering the raging gang warfare in Los Angeles, Lemieux had reported on the urban conflict in Bogotá, Colombia.[2] He had also worked in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Buenos Aires in Argentina. He shared a particularly strong rivalry with fellow reporter Tony Pope, who resented Lemeieux for his greater experience in foreign correspondence, particularly with regard to his war zone coverage.[2]
