The two women who were mistakenly shot by LAPD officers searching for triple murder suspect Christopher Dorner Thursday said they had no warning beforehand, the victims' lawyer told CBS Los Angeles.
Attorney Glen Jonas said Maggie Carranza, 47, and her mother, 71-year-old Emma Hernandez, were delivering Los Angeles Times newspapers around 5:15 a.m. in Torrance when the officers opened fire on their vehicle.
Jonas said, There was no warning. There were no orders. No commands. Just gunshots.
A patrol unit was reportedly assigned to protect the home of a high-ranking LAPD officer during the manhunt for 33-year-old Dorner, who is believed to have killed a Riverside cop Thursday and an Irvine couple Sunday.
In a news conference, Police Chief Charlie Beck said the officers thought the women's royal blue Toyota Tacoma matched the description of Dorner's dark-colored Nissan pickup truck.
Tragically, we believe this was a case of mistaken identity by the officers, said Beck.

Mistaken identity??!! Make, model and color of vehicle didn't match. Plates didn't match those belonging to Dorner. These cops are trigger happy now and shooting innocent people for no damn reason. Those who fired the shots and injured these women should hand over their guns NOW!
