A 15-year-old who was allegedly kidnapped by her father - a fugitive wanted in the death of the teenager’s mother - was killed in a shootout with police on Tuesday, 27 September.

San Bernardino County Sheriff did not confirm if Savannah Graziano was shot by police or her father, 45-year-old Anthony John Graziano, who also died in the shootout on a highway in California’s high desert.

Anthony John had allegedly killed his estranged wife on Monday and abducted Savannah.
