L.A. County Coroner Opens Inquest into Police Killing of Andrés Guardado
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Los Angeles County coroner's office has announced it will open an
official probe into the death of Andrés Guardado, an 18-year-old
Salvadoran American who was shot and killed in June by a sheriff's
deputy. This marks the first such investigation by the coroner's office
in more than three decades. An independent autopsy found Guardado was
shot five times in the back.
