ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) The bullet that killed a Trader Joe's store manager in Los Angeles during a shootout between the suspect and police was from an officer's gun, not the suspect's, according to the city's police chief.

The woman, who was identified as Melyda Corado, was one of several people who had run out of the market when a shooting suspect, Gene Atkins, 28, crashed his car outside the store on Saturday while being chased by police, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore told reporters in a Tuesday news conference. "I'm sorry to report that we've now determined through our forensic investigation that one of the officers' rounds struck Ms.

Corado as she was exiting the market and was in close proximity to Atkins," Moore said.

After being struck, Corado ran back into the store and collapsed behind the manager's desk.

People inside the market carried Corado out of the building and she was treated by members of the Los Angeles Fire Department but died of the gunshot wounds.
