HAWAIIAN GARDENS, Calif.-- Investigators say a gunman with an assault rifle and a can of gasoline stormed his ex-girlfriend's Hawaiian Gardens home and shot four people, killing two of them, before a sheriff's deputy confronted and shot the attacker.

Los Angeles County Undersheriff Larry Waldie says a deputy heard automatic weapons fire around 4 a.m. Thursday, grabbed his AR-15 rifle and confronted the gunman outside the home.

The gunman then pointed his AR-47 at the deputy who fired twice and wounded the man.

Inside the home, the man's ex-girlfriend and her 14-year-old brother are dead. Her father and mother are hospitalized in critical condition with gunshot wounds.

Waldie told KTLA-TV the gunman was upset with the family because of his breakup with the woman.

It's California. The readers understand him even if nobody else does. They're accustomed to accepting silliness as truth.

Yeah it stinks that nobody knows anything about guns, but what about the actual content in the article.

How unfortunate. When gun owners do not act responsibly like in this situation, it is no wonder to me why people want guns banned.

Seeing as how the author got it right the 1st time in the article, I'd chalk this up to poor editing than the usual media idiocy. Sometimes a typo is just a typo, ya know?

I don't see AR-47 as an option.
If these reporters could just use the guide, at least we wouldn't be wondering where they get their crap info.

Poor editing yes, right the first time no;
The "1st time" refers to "a deputy" (AR-15), but the "2nd time" refers to "the gunman" (AR-47).

The gunman then pointed his AR-47 at the deputywho fired twice and wounded the man.
