LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 68-year-old tourist from New Zealand was struck and killed by a car during a botched robbery at an upscale mall in a popular Southern California beach city south of Los Angeles, police said.
Violence broke out Tuesday afternoon at Newport Beach’s Fashion Island mall when two men, one with a gun, tried to rob a woman and her husband at a Barnes and Noble store, Newport Beach police Sgt. Steven Oberon said at a news conference.
The woman was dragged into the street by one of the suspects and killed by a third man driving a white sedan, Oberon said, adding that the three men then fled in the sedan.
The woman was identified by police Wednesday as Patricia McKay, 68, who was visiting from New Zealand.
Newport Beach police officers pursued the three suspects in the white sedan onto an interstate and eventually arrested the men.
Police said one of the suspects fired his gun three times during the robbery, but no one was struck.
