Valentina, 14, was hiding in a store dressing room when she was shot by an officer who was firing at an attacker.
The rifle-wielding Los Angeles Police Department officerwas found to have violated department policy Tuesday for at least some of the rounds he fired.
With the three shots, Jones killed both Elena Lopez and Valentina Orellana-Peralta, the high school freshman hiding inside a stall in the store’s dressing rooms just behind where Elena Lopez was standing. At least one of the bullets pierced the dressing room walls and hit the girl, who was huddling with her mother.
They said Jones should have reassessed what Elena Lopez was doing after the first shot. Instead, he fired all of the rounds in a sequence, then checked. The rulings from both the chief and the commission mean that Jones could now face discipline or firing. But he can also appeal any decision to the department’s Board of Rights, which will make the ultimate decision. It wasn’t immediately known Tuesday when any potential discipline would be imposed and publicly announced.
