An investigation is underway after a customer shot and killed a man inside a Compton store who was reportedly threatening customers after groping a female victim, officials announced.
The Oct. 19 incident, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, occurred just before 3:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Alondra Boulevard, near the intersection of Poinsettia Avenue.
A preliminary investigation revealed that an unidentified man followed a female customer into a beauty supply store and groped her, prompting employees at the establishment to demand he leave the premises.
“The male became increasingly verbally assaultive toward employees and customers, “the release noted. “He started throwing and damaging merchandise in the store. The incident escalated rapidly.”
While the man was reportedly threatening to kill and harm customers and employees, witnesses told investigators that they believed he was armed with a knife.
“A second customer in the store, fearing for the store employees, herself and other customers, retrieved a personal firearm and fired a warning at the male,” investigators said. “The male turned toward that customer, fearing she was going to be attacked, fired a second shot striking the male.”
L.A. deputies and personnel with the Compton Fire Department responded to the scene where the man was pronounced dead by paramedics.

Good riddance!
Fast approaching threat now eliminated!
Mission accomplished.
An extreme Liberal Reporter would have stupidly printed the female shooter’s name in the column, maybe even “accidentally” included the street she lives on.
Compton??
Not exactly Trump territory.
...with a single well-targeted shot!
In Only in America (1958) the humorist Harry Golden wrote that a man was finally caught by police for groping various women in supermarkets and stores in New York City.
One woman was glad and told a reporter: “They should castrate him or give him cancer.”
Good shot!......................
Bush family lived there once
Not exactly Trump territory.
You are correct has not been for a very long time. I am sure it never was.
Good shoot, Ma’am!
Next time no warning shots. You already had enough justification.
Warning shots risk unintended injuries and waste ammo.
Sounds like a good shoot. Shooter was female, with witnesses, warned the perv, and he had already committed a sexual assault. She should be ok.
Madam, I thank you for protecting the many women and children who would have been subject to further injury by this creep.
“with a single well-targeted shot!”
Good point! The perp FAFO.
Castration or cancer?
That sounds like something Joan Rivers would have said as a guest on Johnny Carson. Ed McMahon would have quipped
‘Hi-Oh!!?”. Drum roll from Doc Seversin.
The violence is it’s own category of threat, but an expression for a man being too handsy around females used to be “He’s a Masher!”
It’s not N.W.A.’s Compton, anymore.
A few more Elizabeth Warrens and that head of the teachers’ unions Randi Weingarten and Joy Reid should cure a lot of those guys of their urges.
Compton is a small college town conveniently located near the beaches, the airport, and Downtown LA. Future president George H. W. Bush lived there with his kids at the corner of Santa Fe and Myrrh. His Barbara described the town as "lovely." Incidentally, one of my aunts grew up in Compton.
Works like magic!
