A Deadly 48 Hours
- Share via
An innocent woman killed on the freeway as her children watch in horror. A 9-year-old girl kidnaped from the front door at her home and later found dead. A restaurant manager, his throat slashed by two-bit robbers. A rejected lover commits murder-suicide. A man is shot in the head on a pedestrian ramp. A police officer kills an apparent assailant. A gas station employee stabbed in the eye and his spinal cord severed, leaving him paralyzed.
A horror movie? Is it New York? Los Angeles? No, this is San Diego--in less than one 48-hour period. America’s Finest? Well, one thing’s for sure--we’re not a small town anymore.
