LAPD offers new truck to women to make up for shooting at them

The oh-so-generous Los Angeles Police Department promised to give a new truck to two women wounded while police were pursuing ex-cop Christopher Dorner. Margie Carranza, 47, and her mom, Emma Hernandez, 71, were delivering newspapers Thursday morning in Torrance, Calif., when they were caught unawares in a sudden shootout. LAPD officers sprayed their Toyota Tundra with bullets, thinking the truck belonged to Dorner. Carranza had only minor injuries from broken glass, but Hernandez was shot in the back twice.  Police Chief Charlie Beck called the shooting a "tragic misinterpretation." Um, sounds like it. A neighbor who witnessed the shooting told the Los Angeles Times she thought she heard about 60 rounds of gunshots. Dorner is still at large. [Source]
