In California, Los Angeles community advocates are condemning the police killing of Valentina Orellana-Peralta, a 14-year-old girl who was fatally shot by LAPD Thursday while she was inside a Burlington clothing store’s changing room trying on dresses for a quinceañera. Police arrived at the store after receiving reports of an alleged assault. Officers then opened fire on an unarmed man who was also killed. Preliminary information on the shooting indicated police bullets had penetrated a wall, killing the 14-year-old girl.
