Father, Daughter Shot Outside Day Care Center
A 4-year-old girl and her 45-year-old father were shot and wounded Monday afternoon outside a Norwalk day care center, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies said.
The victims were shot at 5:37 p.m., moments after he picked her up at the Praise Kids Day Care Center in the 13200 block of Studebaker Road, Sgt. David Halm said.
As they prepared to get into their car, a large light-colored four-door sedan pulled alongside, Halm said. The man driving the sedan pulled a gun and fired several shots, hitting each victim once, he said.
Details about the shooting, including a motive for the attack, were not immediately available. The victims were hospitalized Monday night and were listed in stable condition, officials said.
