Cop’s Bullet Meant for Suspect Kills 14-Year-Old Girl in Dressing Room

A family is mourning a 14-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a police officer’s stray bullet inside a Los Angeles Burlington Coat Factory. Valentina Orellana-Peralta was in the department store's changing room, trying on Christmas dresses, when police responded to reports of shots fired. Surveillance footage shows the suspect armed with a metal bike lock, but not a gun, as some 911 callers reported. Valentina died in the arms of her mother after being struck by a cop’s bullet.
