Gun violence is not a new thing in America. Recently an unidentified woman died in a shootout near a grocery store. Amidst the shining and glittering facade of Los Angeles, there are numerous basic human needs that remain untackled. One such problem is the high number of homeless and unidentified people living beneath the golden carpet of the city.
On Monday around 3 PM, an unidentified homeless woman went on a rampage near a grocery store. She grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to provoke the security guards. Failing in her attempt, she then took a screwdriver and approached him. In an act of self-defense, the security guard fired a gun which accidentally shot the woman. The clash occurred at Ralph Supermarket, 5400 block of Hollywood Boulevard. Unfortunately, her injuries were severe, and she succumbed to them while receiving treatment at the hospital.
The reason behind the woman’s violent outburst remains unknown. The Los Angeles police are currently investigating the incident. The guard, reportedly unharmed in the altercation, has not been arrested and is said to be cooperating with the investigation.
While the investigation is going on, such issues will be resolved only when the administration will provide shelter to these homeless people.
