Girl dies from gunshot wound after grabbing Los Angeles deputy's gun, authorities say

A girl died Sunday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after she entered a Los Angeles County sheriff’s station and grabbed a deputy’s gun, the department said. The incident came after the girl’s foster parent called authorities to their home around 7:25 p.m. Sunday, saying the girl was suffering from a mental health crisis. By the time deputies arrived, the girl was gone.

About 15 minutes later, she showed up at the Industry sheriff’s station about 1 mile away from the home, knocked on the lobby door, entered and 'lunged' to grab a deputy’s firearm out of the holster, the department said. The department has provided no video of the incident nor specific information about whether the girl fired the gun intentionally or accidentally.
