Man gropes, attacks store's customers, then female shopper fatally shoots him, authorities say

A woman shot and killed a man who groped and attacked customers inside a Compton store, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, and officials are asking witnesses to come forward.

On Sunday, deputies from the Compton Sheriff’s Station responded to an emergency call of a disturbance, which was later updated to include a gunshot victim, at a shopping center in the 1300 block of East Alondra Boulevard, according to a news release.

The Sheriff’s Department did not name the store where the incident took place.

A preliminary investigation found that an unidentified man entered a store following a female customer, whose identity has not been disclosed.

all those years earlier? Hmmm...

Yeah, I know. Different times, so she would likely NOT have received a self-defense conclusion, but rather have been subject to the most misogynistic legal and court proceedings...
