LAPD releases video in police killing of 14-year-old girl in clothing store

The death of Valentina Orellana-Peralta, who was shopping with her mother for a holiday dress, raises concerns about police use of deadly force

The Los Angeles police department has released body-camera footage and surveillance video of an incident in which an officer shot and killed a 14-year-old girl inside a department store while firing at another person.

The footage from the Thursday morning incident shows that as soon as police encountered a man suspected of assault inside the store, an officer fired three bullets at him from a distance. One of the officer's bullets struck the girl when it bounced off the floor and into the dressing room where she was with her mother, police said on Monday.
