‘A horrible scene’ inside Burlington dressing room where LAPD fatally shot girl

LA Times  

A memorial at the Burlington store in North Hollywood where a 14-year-old was shot and killed. His assignment was the Burlington clothing store in North Hollywood, where on Thursday an LAPD officer fatally shot a 14-year-old girl, Valentina Orellana-Peralta, who was trying on clothes in a dressing room. Edwin Arroyo, with Nancy’s Cleaning Service, removes items that had blood on them from a shooting at the Burlington clothing store in North Hollywood. “I don’t know how many gunshots there were, but there was a lot of blood everywhere.” “The little girl was trying on a dress,” he said, his tone grim. Officers responded to a call about an assault with a deadly weapon at the store in the 12100 block of Victory Boulevard about 11:45 a.m. Thursday and shot the suspect a short distance from a woman “suffering from various injuries and bleeding,” police said.
