9-year-old girl dies after mistakenly shot by robbery victim
By JUAN A. LOZANO | The Associated Press
Alvarez said Arlene was sitting in the backseat of his truck and was wearing headphones when the shooting started Monday evening. “Our hearts go out to the Alvarez family. We are going to review all the evidence, apply the law and determine what charges are appropriate,” Schiller said. As the suspect fled on foot, Earls got out of his vehicle and opened fire, including at a pickup truck he thought the robbery suspect had climbed into, police said.
“As soon as I speed up, what are you doing? You are already coming next to him. You’re going toward the guy shooting. So I guess when I speed up, he thought I was with that guy,” Alvarez said.
