Nurse struck by stray bullets that went through her Hollywood apartment wall ... trends now
An LA-area nurse died after she was struck by two bullets that entered her apartment from a neighboring apartment which led doctors to discover stage 4 liver cancer that could not be treated due to her gunshot injuries.
Larisa Pereshivaylova, 57, was standing in her West Hollywood kitchen on April 7 at The Dylan Apartments when her neighbor, Joshua Findley, opened fire in his unit.
The bullets entered Pereshivaylova's apartment through her wall and struck her in the abdomen and neck just after 8am, her son said.
'She was shot through her liver, through her right kidney and the bullet got lodged in her spine,' Max Buydakov, 21, said.
Miraculously, the woman was able to call 911 who transported her to the hospital where stage 4 liver cancer was discovered. Due to her condition, however, doctors could not administer life-saving treatment.
Findley, 31, who had two outstanding warrants, was arrested weeks later. It's unclear why opened fire inside the building.

'She was making breakfast at 8 a.m. and she was shot through the wall,' Buydakov told KTLA in an interview following his mother's death.
When Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies responded to the apartment in the 7100 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, they found the woman.
A SWAT helicopter circled the upscale building in West Hollywood for hours as first responders rushed the Russian immigrant to a nearby hospital.
Her son said one bullet caused severe damage to her liver, kidney, and spine, while another bullet landed in her neck.
