Two women shot at and injured by Los Angeles cops have reached a A$4 Million settlement with the city.  They were hurt during the manic manhunt for a rogue police officer.

71-year old Emma Hernandez and her daughter 47-year old Margie Carranza were delivering newspapers on 7 February when officers repeatedly shot at their blue Toyota Tacoma truck.  The older woman was shot twice; the daughter was injured by flying glass.

The officers who opened fire were protecting the home of a high-ranking Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) official who was named in the manifesto of Christopher Dorner, who was on a killing spree in retaliation for what he viewed as his wrongful firing from the force.

The bulletin said Dorner was driving a gray Nissan Titan truck, not a blue Toyota.  Cops also went after a gray Honda unlucky enough to be in the neighborhood.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck called the shooting "a tragic misinterpretation" by officers working under "incredible tension" hours after Dorner allegedly shot police officers.  The women already got $40,000 from the city to replace the truck, something police vowed to do regardless of any legal action.

Dorner was eventually tracked several kilometers outside Los Angeles to a mountain community where police surrounded him and lobbed incendiary grenades inside the cabin where he was holed up.  He died in the cabin.
