--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
AN ARMED MAN TERRORIZED A TRADER JOE'S SATURDAY AFTERNOON -- LEAVING ONE PERSON DEAD.
Chief Michel Moore / LAPD: "a young woman was shot and killed [...] and unfortunately were unable to revive her."
THE VICTIM, IDENTIFIED BY HER BROTHER AS MELYDA CORADO, HAD WORKED AT TRADER JOE'S FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.
AUTHORITIES SAY THE SUSPECT WAS FLEEING THE SCENE OF A SEPERATE SHOOTING INCIDENT WHEN THE ORDEAL BEGAN.
Chief Michel Moore / LAPD: "He shot his grandmother multiple times. In the course of that attack, a young woman was also injured and he forcibly took her from that residence and drug her to a vehicle and then left the scene."
OFFICERS FOLLOWED SUIT -- POLICE SAY THE SUSPECT FIRED MULTIPLE ROUNDS AT THEM DURING THE CHASE.
THE PURSUIT ENDED WHEN HE CRASHED HIS CAR IN LA'S SILVER LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Miguel Trujillo / Eyewitness: "He got out of his car quickly and the cops fired at him, and he then fired at them. And in all that, in that instant moment, he went running into Trader Joe's."
POLICE SAID ABOUT 40 PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THE STORE WHEN THE SUSPECT RAN IN.
SOME CUSTOMERS IMMEDIATELY RAN OUTSIDE --
OTHERS WERE RELEASED DURING THE NEARLY THREE-HOUR ORDEAL.
A FEW EMPLOYEES WERE SEEN ESCAPING ON A CHAIN LADDER DANGLING FROM A BACK WINDOW.
ULTIMATELY, HOSTAGE NEGOTIATORS WERE ABLE TO CONVINCE THE SUSPECT TO SURRENDER.
Mayor Eric Garcetti / Los Angeles: "The suspect at the end asked for handcuffs. He handcuffed himself and then released himself into the custody of LAPD."
I'M KIM HUTCHERSON REPORTING.
--MANDATORY TAG--
SIX PEOPLE WERE HOSPITALIZED WITH NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURIES.
POLICE HAVE NOT RELEASED THE CONDITION OF THE TWO VICTIMS IN THE INITIAL SHOOTING INCIDENT.
THE SUSPECT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT POLICE SAY HE'S A 28-YEAR-OLD BLACK MALE.
