LAPD Officer Cleared in Fatal Shooting of Teen in North Hollywood Burlington Store

The state Attorney General's Office has announced that no criminal charges will be filed against the LAPD officer involved in the shooting at a North Hollywood Burlington store that resulted in the deaths of an assault suspect and a 14-year-old girl. The officer's bullet struck the girl while she was trying on Christmas dresses in a dressing room. The Attorney General expressed sympathy for the victims' families but stated that there was insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution of the officer. The AG's Office recommended that the LAPD consider improving communication in response to similar scenarios.
