Anyone read the comments from the neighbour who was in his house when the 2 women got shot at? Didn't notice if it was posted or not, my bad if it was:
Goo believes the two women were about to deliver the Los Angeles Times to his house, but they didn’t make it.
“It’s very unfortunate because they were just doing their job,” Goo said in an interview in front of his house. Goo, a cardiology technician, has lived in the neighborhood for eight years. He said he and his wife were in bed when they heard gunshots.
“We heard all this pop-pop-popping. And then I hit the ground, crawled around, dragged her out of bed, onto the floor and then laid on top of her,” he said.
“When one of the ricochets hit off our glass door, I thought it had come through the door into our living room,” Goo remembered. “So I thought bullets were coming into the house."
Goo called the whole situation “ironic.”
“It’s a bad time to be driving a pickup truck,” he said. “It’s sad that that makes you a target by the LAPD, but they’ve been targeted, so they’re responding."
“And it’s ironic that the only violence our neighborhood has experienced is this — and it was brought to us courtesy of the LAPD.”
The women's lawyer, Glen Jonas, argues that the officers did not follow protocol or the rules of engagement when using deadly force. "With no warning, no command, or no instructions, LAPD opened fire on their vehicle," Jonas said.
"This wasn't even close. This was two petite Latina women versus a large black man, with a different vehicle, different color. The police didn't take the time to do the identification. They didn't give the “suspect” the opportunity to surrender. So the whole thing was just mishandled, and we expect that the city will acknowledge that and go from there."
About 25 minutes after the shooting, Torrance police responding to the sound of gunshots spotted another truck similar to Dorner's and opened fire. No one was reported hurt.
