Police in Burbank are looking for suspects behind the shooting death of a 48-year-old woman whose body was discovered overnight in Burbank, according to abc7.com. "Officers responded to a call of shots fired on the 4200 block of West Jacaranda Avenue," near North Toluca Park Drive, which is described as being in an "upscale Burbank neighborhood." The victim was found "on the ground in front of a home," and "pronounced dead at the scene." Police believe she may have been shot when she answered her front door, by a man dressed all in black who fled in a black Mercedes, reports MyFoxLA. This is the first homicide in Burbank in 2009.

The other officer fired a couple shots with one apparently entering a Metro bus slightly injuring one passenger. The other shot hit suspect who was brought to hospital in stable condition. This was at the Southeast corner of Sunset and Vermont.
