LOS ANGELES — A 15-year-old girl and her father were killed by San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies Tuesday in a shootout off Interstate 15, authorities said, a day after the man is believed to have fatally shot his wife and abducted his daughter.
Law enforcement had been searching for Anthony Graziano, 45, and his daughter Savannah Graziano after Fontana police and the California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert on Monday. Authorities had described Anthony Graziano as "armed and dangerous" and Savannah as a kidnapping victim after her mother was found shot Monday morning in her Fontana home and later died.
The teen was fatally shot by deputies when she ran toward them wearing body armor and a tactical helmet, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon D. Dicus said Tuesday.
