About two hours later, police in South Gate spotted a vehicle that was believed to have been connected to the shooting. Police stopped the car in the 8600 block of San Carolos Avenue, near Firestone Boulevard, and the woman inside wielded a gun, prompting police to open fire, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. Daniel Vizcarra.
The woman was struck by gunfire and taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, Vizcarra said.
There was no immediate word on the relationship between the woman and the man who was shot in Huntington Beach. Their names were not immediately released.
