FLOWERS CANDLES TO HONOR HOMELESS WOMAN SET ON FIRE AT VAN NUYS BUS BENCH - LA TIMES
..The homeless woman was a familiar presence at the corner of Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way. Employees at the nearby businesses knew her habits, if not her name.
She was a small woman with a pale, creased face -– probably in her 70s or 80s, but no one really knew. Every morning, she bought a pack of Grand Prix cigarettes with exact change at the United Oil gas station, said cashier Mauricio Gutierrez. Every night, she curled up on a bus bench outside the 24-hour Walgreens and tried to sink into sleep.
The bench has three seats, some graffiti, a gold-and-turquoise advertisement for a maker of eyeglasses. It could not have been comfortable.
That's where police found the woman early Thursday, after a man doused her with a flammable liquid and set her ablaze. She was whisked to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition.."
SHERMAN WAY AND VAN NUYS BOULEVARD IS THE LOCATION... We've been following this story, hoping for news on her condition. The suspect has been arrested. Setting homeless who are sleeping on fire has become a sport. This happened to a homeless man in San Diego recently too.
