NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising
-- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating
potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of
Sempra Energy ("Sempra" or the "Company") (NYSE: SRE). Such
investors are advised to contact Peretz
Bronstein or his Investor Relations Analyst, Yael Hurwitz at info@bgandg.com or
212-697-6484.
This investigation concerns whether Sempra and certain of its
officers and/or directors have violated the Federal Securities Laws
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), a subsidiary of
Sempra Energy, discovered a natural gas leak from a well near
Porter Ranch, Los Angeles in late October 2015. After
neighborhood locals reported symptoms including headaches, nausea,
and severe nosebleeds, thousands of families were moved away from
this area, so the SoCalGas could seal the well. A state of
emergency was declared on January 6,
2016, post-market, by California Governor Jerry Brown.
Following this news, Sempra Energy stock fell $5.00, or 5.4%, to close at just $87.00 per share on January 7, 2016. On February 2, 2016, a lawsuit was filed against
SoCalGas alleging violations of state health and safety laws by the
California Attorney General,
Kamala D. Harris. That same day,
Los Angeles County filed criminal
charges against SoCalGas for failing to immediately report the leak
and danger.
