Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rep. Karen Bass says she doesn't feel safe in city after burglary
Two men allegedly broke into Rep. Karen Bass' home and stole two guns, causing the mayoral hopeful to admit her 'safety was shattered'
Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass expressed misgivings about safety in Los Angeles after her home was burglarized last week – retreating from a glowing remark she previously made about feeling safe in L.A.

Bass – who is running for mayor of Los Angeles – had two firearms stolen from her home on September 9. After announcing the burglary, a video re-emerged of her saying that she would give safety in the California city a "10 out of 10".

"I do feel safe," Bass claimed during a mayoral debate five months ago. "I would say a 10. But I do understand that a lot of people around the city do not feel safe, and I respect that."

But Bass backtracked those comments during an interview with Fox 11 Los Angeles on Wednesday, saying that her safety was "shattered."
