Woman stabbed to death by man killed in Van Nuys police shooting

555 Authorities Friday released the name of a woman who police say was stabbed to death by a man fatally shot by police officers during a brief standoff in Van Nuys. Officers were sent to the 6400 block of Tyrone Avenue about 1:10 p.m. Saturday on a report that a man was holding a knife to a woman, the Los Angeles Police Department said. The officers shot Guillermo Perez, 32, a transient, who died at a hospital about 40 minutes afterward, said coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter. "Officers were forced to take action,". The woman, identified Friday as 49-year-old Elizabeth Tollison, died at a hospital about 11:20 p.m. Monday, Winter said. She is believed to have been a transient, Winter said. A witness said the attack was near a church that feeds the needy.
