WEST COVINA, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in Southern Californiasay a woman was in the middle of making a 911 call when she was
shot to death.
The Los Angeles County sheriff's office says the woman was
telling a 911 dispatcher that someone was trying to break into her
home in the upscale West Covina neighborhood. The pleas for help
were interrupted by gunshots, then followed by silence.
Deputies arrived at the house a few minutes later and found the
woman had been shot several times. Paramedics pronounced her dead
at the scene.
Sheriff's Lieutenant Dan Rosenberg says investigators believe
"it was a burglary gone awry." He says witnesses reported seeing
one or more men running from the house. Investigators conducted
yard-to-yard searches using bloodhounds, but no arrests have been
made.
