Los Angels Times reported a heartrending story.
The angel of death visited 61 year old Gwen Taylor unexpectedly as she was killed by a stray bullet in front of her grand children at a time when the family was ending their annual Christmas dinner with fellow veterans' families. Jose Taylor and his wife Gwen Taylor were loading leftovers and the toys of their grand children into their car. She collapsed suddenly. Jose Taylor thought his wife had fainted due to overwork. She had been holding the hand of her grandson when she fell. Taylor found the blouse of his wife stained in blood. His wife was rushed to the hospital, where doctors performed surgery but could not save her life.
Authorities say her killing was random. They say she was caught in what appears to be a gang shooting. A man walking through the parking lot pulled out a handgun and began shooting, police said. His target, a 16-year-old boy, ducked behind a parked car, but stray bullets struck Taylor and a 15-year-old boy, who was treated and released. The intended victim has been interviewed by police, but the shooter is still at large.
Gwen Taylor was known for her charity towards those who were in need.
