community stunned by home invasion murder

Residents of an upscale community in West Covina, CA have been on edge since the murder of woman in her home two weeks ago: SoCal area jittery after 911-call death.

45-year-old Hsiao Hsu was shot to death—as many as five times—in her gated, high-security mansion, while she was on the phone calling 911 for help. The dispatcher apparently heard two shots before the call ended. More here: Investigation continues in West Covina killing.

Investigators believe Hsu's murder might have been burglary gone wrong. Like I said, it's got community members, who thought the area was relative safe, very shaken and concerned: Slaying of Covina woman stuns family, neighbors.
