Daughter of L.A. police union boss involved in shooting of pellet-gun-wielding woman
Jacqueline McBride and two other Los Angeles officers fatally shot a woman holding a pellet gun. McBride, the daughter of a conservative police union boss, is the third family member to shoot someone in the line of duty, bringing the total to eight victims.
When Jacqueline McBride and two other Los Angeles police officers fatally shot a woman wielding a replica revolver in Silver Lake last week, McBride became the third member of her immediate family to shoot someone in the line of duty.
The officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Rampart Division responded to a call about 7:55 p.m. Wednesday that a woman in a trench coat was pointing a gun at passersby in the area around Silver Lake Boulevard and Temple Street, according to a police account of the incident.
On arrival, they encountered Mariela Cardenas, who matched the suspect’s description, near the overpass of the 101 Freeway, police said.

But with last Wednesday’s shooting, three members of the McBride family have now been responsible for shooting eight people.
McBride’s father, Jamie McBride, outspoken vice president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, was involved in at least six police shootings, none fatal, in the first 11 years of his career. His other daughter, Toni McBride — an Instagram shooting celebrity and model who joined the LAPD in 2017 — fatally shot Daniel Hernandez in 2020 in South Los Angeles after he moved toward her with a knife.
After a months-long internal investigation, a civilian police commission that oversees the LAPD found the last two of her six shots were out of policy. By that point in the incident, Hernandez, 38, was lying on the ground. But Toni wasn’t fired or prosecuted for the shooting.

Most officers go their entire careers without firing their weapons. A Pew Research Center study in 2017 found only a little more than a quarter of officers have fired a weapon while on duty.
