LOS ANGELES | Tue Apr 23, 2013 9:38pm EDT

(Reuters) - The city of Los Angeles will pay $4.2 million to a mother and daughter who were caught in a hail of bullets in February when police mistook their truck for one driven by renegade ex-policeman Christopher Dorner and opened fire, officials said on Tuesday.

The settlement, which allows both sides to avoid a trial, brings the Los Angeles Police Department nearer to closing what had been an embarrassing chapter in its search for Dorner. The department still is reviewing the actions of two officers.

That will rightfully get you a ticket.”

You can’t park there, a cop car got it first.

Fired at? They were shot up iirc.

"Emma Hernandez, 71, was shot twice in the back and her daughter, Margie Carranza, 47, suffered hand injuries from flying debris when two officers opened fire on them before dawn on February 7"

Just one of those things, I mean man they were in hot pursuit, most like getting ready to lock down most of LA and do a house to house. You got to accept stuff like this if you want to be secure.

How much is that per bullet fired?

What's the point? Without the slightest effort to confirm who it was that was driving down the street they just started shooting. One of them was shot twice...in the back. Their truck was riddled with bullets.

Is that 46 shots at the truck? As it is driving away?

Los Angeles got off light with $4.2 million settlement.

Who needs to be a lawyer to figure this one out? MortMan is right.

"How much is that per bullet fired?"

Who cares? The moron police fired on (2) innocent women just because they were in car that vaguely resembled the suspect auto. I'm sick of the "Protect and to Serve" idiot cops shooting dogs, breaking into the wrong house, and now shooting up old ladies.

There will come a day when some innocent homeowner shoots some stupid cop while thinking an intruder. Of course the homeowner will die, once the over-zealous SWAT shows up. Hope he takes some dumb-ass cop with him, if not warranted.

And yes, I mostly support LEO's, but they have gotten out of control.

Incorrect Title...the CORRECT Title is "Taxpayers to pay....."

The LAPD Police Union should PAY; out of the Members' Dues, IMHO.

"Once these two pay the taxes on their winnings, I see a good chance of a two Hispanic voter pickup for the GOP."

What's wrong with you? These were (2) old ladies (no matter their ethnicity) delivering newspapers who were shot at by DUMB ASS cops who couldn't recognize the difference in automobiles. They deserve every dollar they can get.

That was a shot at Barry, NOT A SHOT AT THE TWO “OLD LADIES”.

47 is hardly considered 'old'.

That’s pretty damn blue for a GRAY truck - of another make and model to boot.

“Dorner’s gray Nissan Titan truck, and officials have said the officers opened fire after mistaking the blue Toyota Tacoma “

But hey - it WAS a truck - and also, never mind that it two women instead of one black man -

Easy to see their mistake s/
I’d have nightmares about ever driving again =
