Police in California say a woman was killed and four people were wounded in a Los Angeles County shooting shortly after the arrival of the new year. Hawthorne police say a male victim who suffered gunshot wounds was transported to a hospital from the scene near a shopping mall. The sheriff’s department says four other victims arrived at area hospitals by other means. KABC reports an adult female victim was later pronounced dead. There were no immediate arrests. Authorities are also investigating a separate shooting early Monday at a commercial building in downtown Los Angeles that killed two people and wounded three others, one critically.
