BREAKING NEWS: Woman robbed at gunpoint on Hermosa Beach street
A gunman pointed a pistol at a woman in Hermosa Beach last night and threatened to shoot her if she did not hand over her purse.
The robber was among three men who confronted the woman in the 1000 block of Monterey Boulevard at 8 p.m.
She gave them her purse.
The men ran south on Monterey to a car that was driven by a fourth robber. The car was a dark red or burgundy 1990s American made car with four doors.
Police are investigating whether the crime was related to a series of street holdups recently in Manhattan Beach.

No descriptions of the three perpetrators? White/black, tall/short, fat/thin, bald/bearded ... nothing?!?
Hi.....
This is real time reporting. It's not complete. And some things change. The police are still investigating. One of the victims has died and the other is being treated for his wounds, possibly in surgery. They obviously can't interview them.
