About two hours before taking the hostages, police say the man shot his grandmother seven times and wounded another woman, who he forced into a car. Police chased the vehicle and exchanged gunfire with the man, who crashed into a pole outside the Trader Joe’s in the city’s Silver Lake section and ran inside.
Trader Joe’s!
Frightened customers and workers dove for cover as police bullets fired at the suspect shattered the store’s glass doors.

Let’s call this what it is: terrorism.
Makiyah Wilson, a 10-year-old heading to an ice cream truck, was hit, apparently in the chest, residents said. Two witnesses said the girl’s mother held her child as she cried, again and again: “Please don’t let my baby die.”
She’ll never have a first day of middle school.
