Shot, yes. Killed, no. They were newspaper deliverers doing a route on the street the LAPD had staked out because one of Dorner’s targets lived there. So they’re just minding their business, rolling down the street at about 5 miles per hour, tossing out newspapers, when a bunch of freaked out cops unloaded more than 100 bullets into their truck. One of them, a 71-year-old woman, was shot twice; her daughter escaped being shot, but was cut by the broken glass. Fortunately for them, the cops had worse aim than Storm Troopers.

They’ve since been awarded a $4.2m settlement from Los Angeles. No charges were filed against the officers involved. Also, these weren’t the only two people shot at by the police. They opened fire on another man as well that same day.

The article doesn’t mention it, but I’m pretty sure that like 2 weeks after the shooting, the police chief offered to get the two women a new truck, probably in the hopes that they wouldn’t sue.
