LAPD releases video in police killing of 14-year-old girl in clothing store

The Los Angeles police department has released body-camera footage and surveillance video of an incident in which an officer shot and killed a 14-year-old girl inside a department store while firing at another person.

The footage from the Thursday morning incident shows that as soon as police encountered a man suspected of assault inside the store, an officer fired three bullets at him from a distance. One of the officer’s bullets struck the girl when it bounced off the floor and into the dressing room where she was with her mother, police said on Monday.

The 14-year-old victim has been identified as Valentina Orellana-Peralta, according to the LA county medical examiner’s office, which ruled the death to be a homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Orellana-Peralta died on the scene at the Burlington Coat Factory store in North Hollywood.

The officer who fired the shots was put on paid leave, and has not been identified. The man shot by police upon arrival was Daniel Elena Lopez, 24, who also died on the scene, officials said.

Attorneys representing the family of Orellana-Peralta said in a statement Monday that the girl was in the dressing room with her mother, trying on Christmas dresses, and that she died in her mother’s arms...

I don't care if the man was on duty or not, if he's ready to draw and use his weapon in a crowded setting, and can't shoot right, he needs a) be laid off the force, with provisions against him working in police or private security ever again b) be convicted with aggravated manslaughter or any other felony conviction that will ensure that, as all ex cons, he's forever banned from owning or carrying firearms, regardless of actual sentence received and served.

It will be written off as another accidental death.

Someone asked why such dangerous places like the Grand Canyon remain open...
Image
Indeed they are dangerous ...I recall that stretch, walking down just after dawn and quite chilly. Easy to stumble with cold muscles. Of course young and fit in our twenties,,,never gave it a thought...too many tackle "adventures" thinking they retain those skills and fitness....that would be a no... :doh:

I'm sure almost anywhere in the world there are dangerous places but the numbers visiting in the US are insane. 4.4 million visited Yellowstone in 2021....a million more that in 2020 and tourists and wild bison share spaces way too up close and personal.
I vividly recall sitting on the motorcycle stuck in a traffic jam while a bull bison walked by in the other lane in the opposite direction - his horns far too close to my knee.
Not sure the armour would be much use :begging:

and Americans are hitting the parks in unprecented numbers. There is such a pent up demand ...

Every campground and trailer park here is jammed full as well. Covid has had some strange side effects not just medical in nature.
