A shooting Wednesday afternoon involving
Hawthorne police left a man and a woman dead and wounded a 12-year-old boy,
authorities said.
Around 12:40 p.m., a woman driving a
Mercedes in the 14200 block of Kornblum Avenue stopped her car next to a
Hawthorne police officer sitting in his parked patrol car, according to the Los
Angeles County sheriff's department.
The woman reported that another car was
following her, and the officer asked her to park her car near is,
officials said.
Moments later, a white Cadillac pulled
up, and after getting out of the car, a man opened fire at the woman's car,
officials said.
The Hawthorne police officer -- the lone
policeman at the scene -- began shooting at the gunman, who was later
pronounced dead.
The woman also died at the scene.
The 12-year-old boy inside the woman's car was transported to the hospital and
is in stable condition, sheriff's officials said.
