Jury clears LAPD officer in Burlington store shooting case
TL;DR
A Los Angeles jury ruled that Officer William Jones was not liable in a civil suit over the 2021 fatal shooting at a North Hollywood Burlington Coat Factory, finding his split-second decision to rush into an active shooter scenario did not make him liable despite initial miscommunications about the suspect’s weapon; Valentina Orellana-Peralta, 14, was killed when a bullet Jones fired breached a changing room where she hid.
