HAWTHORNE, Calif. – Southern California investigators say a man opened fire on a woman and her 12-year-old son in a Mercedes after the boy pointed and laughed at the man's feet hanging out the window of a moving Cadillac.
The shooting Wednesday occurred in front of a Hawthorne police cruiser, prompting officers to shoot the gunman.
The gunman and the woman, 36-year-old Denise Berry, were killed and the boy was wounded.
The Los Angeles Times reports Friday that police pieced together the events based on statements by the boy, who was hospitalized in stable condition.
The shooter has been identified as 38-year-old Robert Washington.
Two men in the Cadillac, ages 24 and 19, were arrested. It's unclear what charges, if any, they may face.
