LOS ANGELES - A 15-year-old burglary suspect died Wednesday, a day after being shot by a woman who told police she returned to her South Los Angeles home to confront a tire iron-wielding boy in her house.
The shooting took place about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday when Mary Ann Talley, 59, returned to her home after her daily walk, police said in a statement. When Talley entered her home, a young burglar confronted her with a tire iron and she shot him with a handgun she keeps for protection.
The boy was taken to a hospital where he died Wednesday, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.
The boy's identity was not released.
Talley was not injured in the incident.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office was investigating to determine if any charges should be filed, Lee said.
Pretty stupid to bring a tar iron to a gun fight
Life's tough. It's tougher if you're stupid. This kid was stupid.
"tar iron"
Just another "albabyism"
Great ending to what could have been a very bad experience!
You mean "tar tool"
it,s a nascarism

Hell yes charges should be filed: parental neglect, educational neglect, and if the perp were still alive charges ought to be filed against his sorry @$$ for breaking and entering, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon...
Excellent.
i thought the supreme court ruled out the death penalty for minors?
Reading statements like that makes me glad I live in Texas.
I was feeling pretty proud of being from Baton Rouge after reading the title. Then I read on and realized South LA meant Los Angeles and not South Louisiana.
The boy committed suicide.
"The Los Angeles County district attorney's office was investigating to determine if any charges should be filed"
yeah, she shouldnt have shot him. she should have let him beat her to a bloody pulp with his tire iron!!!
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER
Well said,
In 1976, my wife's cousin, then just 21 years old, shot and killed a would-be rapist who broke into her apartment in Houston. The 300 lb intruder kicked the door in at 3AM, confronted her with his intentions, and declared, "You wouldn't shoot me, you little ****." Those were his last words, she hit him twice, in the neck and above the right eye, with a .45 auto. The grand jury hearing was strictly routine, required by law after all fatal shootings, and resulted in a quick no-bill.
I wonder how many California gun laws Mrs. Talley broke that morning.
Look at the way the story is worded...
"...she returned to her South Los Angeles home to confront a tire iron-wielding boy in her house..."
They word it so it makes her look like SHE came back to shoot him... Not that she happened to walk in on him and startled she probably grabbed for her gun she has... But, instead she left to get the gun and "returned to confront him"....
Ahhhh, they subconcious planting of that poor 15yr. old...
Reading statements like that makes me glad I live in Texas.
I can't believe you said this. Wasn't in Texas when the illegal aliens won the guy's ranch after suing him for giving them blankets, water and food??
No matter where a person lives in the United States, as long as President Bush and his administration refuses to lock down the borders, we are not safe from the illegals.
Add this yoot to the "child victims of gun violence" statistic. :-/
But but but, didn't he call beforehand and inform her of her rights, and state his age??? Sigh
