In Los Angeles, police opened fire on a criminal in a clothing store, which killed two people, including a 14-year-old girl who was at that time in a fitting room, according to BBC News.
The police received a report of shots in the boutique. The officers arrived at the scene to find the attacker, and after finding him, opened fire on him. The man died almost instantly, but no firearms were found next to him. Only a heavy bicycle lock was found next to his body.
After looking around, law enforcement officers found a hole in the adjacent wall of the locker room behind the suspect. Inside the fitting room was a murdered 14-year-old girl trying on a new outfit for her birthday party. The teenager was hit by a stray bullet fired from a pistol by one of the police officers. Also, local media reported that the corpse of a woman with a bloody face, who, most likely, is one of the victims of the attack, was taken away from the store.
The state police chief promised to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident, having released a video of the incident from surveillance cameras. State law requires that all fatal shootings of unarmed civilians by police officers be investigated by the State Department of Justice.
Earlier it became known that a young Pakistani politician Mohammed Zakriya Khan was accidentally shot during a holiday in his honor. He was killed by a bullet fired into the air by supporters in honor of his election.
