Two-year-old shot dead by stranger in fast food restaurant

THE parents of a two-year-old boy killed

The gunman fled after Monday's shooting in Pomona, California, but was killed by police after pulling the weapon and telling them, "shoot me, shoot me". The toddler, Osvaldo Martinez, died in hospital.

"It appeared to be unmotivated," police Sergeant Joann Crabb said of the shooting. "Apparently it was totally unprovoked from what witnesses were saying."
