15-year-old burglar shot by South LA woman dies at hospital
A 15-year-old burglary suspect died Wednesday, a day after being shot by a woman who told police she returned to her South Los Angeles home to confront a tire iron-wielding boy in her house.
The shooting took place about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday when Mary Ann Talley, 59, returned to her home after her daily walk, police said in a statement. When Talley entered her home, a young burglar confronted her with a tire iron and she shot him with a handgun she keeps for protection.
The boy was taken to a hospital where he died Wednesday, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.
The boy's identity was not released.
Talley was not injured in the incident.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office was investigating to determine if any charges should be filed, Lee said.
