A 69-year-old woman was killed in an apparently failed robbery attempt at the upscale Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach on Tuesday, and three suspects were ultimately taken into custody, authorities said.
According to Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Oberon, a husband and wife were walking outside the mall near the Barnes & Noble store around 3:30 p.m. when they were approached by two male suspects who attempted to rob them. A “struggle” ensued, during which the woman was dragged into the parking lot area, where she was subsequently run over by the suspects’ white Toyota Camry, Oberon said.
One of the suspects fled the scene on foot and fired several shots while fleeing, but nobody was struck, Oberon said. The remaining suspects drove off in the Camry.

Those two suspects led authorities on a chase that led to South Gate in Los Angeles County. The driver eventually pulled into a neighborhood and both suspects tried to flee on foot, but both were taken into custody, Oberon said.
The third suspect was also arrested, possibly in Cypress, Oberon said.
The suspects’ identities were not immediately made public.
he name of the woman who died was not immediately released. Oberon said her husband was not believed to have been injured.
No other injuries have been reported, Oberon said.
“It is a shock,” Oberon said. “It just doesn’t happen normally here.”
I’ll take 50-1 odds that the “perp’s” had either spanish last names or were of the colored persuasion.
Yep the slam is intentional. With the flood of illegals, and cartels using the flood to smuggle drugs and guns, what would you think a rational person would say about criminals?
Where is the baseline study by Newsom and the rest of the idiots called Democrats, stating that a) here are the black/mexican crime rates in their communities. b) here is what the actual crime rate would be if they were either gone or stood up to the criminals.
Want to bet there is going to be a …. that guy is realllllllyyyyy prejudiced.
But then again yes I am prejudiced against criminals and the Democrats who have become so lenient on crime there is no fear of arrest let alone jail.
Now why do you vote Democrat? Are you that stupid?
May as well start carrying. We already know the suspects may not even be prosecuted, and if they are prosecuted are unlikely to get more than probation.
