\"Investigators
Gardena police shot and killed a gunman who riddled a woman with bullets Tuesday as she ran to escape him, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\nPolice received multiple 911 calls at about 7:45 a.m. about a man with a gun chasing a woman out of an apartment complex in the 1700 block of West 146th Street<\/a>, shooting as he ran, said Lt. Steve Prendergast of the Gardena Police Department.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a> The gunman was shot by a police officer shortly after turning onto South Western Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Prendergast said. <\/p>\n

The woman was taken to Harbor General Hospital, where she was in critical but stable condition.
\nA domestic dispute may have preceded the incident, Prendergast said.<\/p>\n

No further details were available. Anyone with information is asked to call the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500.<\/p>\n
