Snippet:
The City of Los Angeles was found not liable on Thursday for the death of a 14-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet fired by a police officer. The shooting in 2021, in which the officer was told by fellow officers to “slow down” before he opened fire, drew considerable anger from residents.
