CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) - Parents of a baby girl are fighting for their lives after they were shot in a Costco parking lot by the mother’s ex-boyfriend.

The San Diego Union-Tribune says 31-year-old Samuel Valdez and 32-year-old Angelina Perez remain hospitalized Tuesday with critical injuries.

Police say 48-year-old Sean Illian opened fire Monday as the couple loaded groceries into a car in Chula Vista. Their child was nearby but wasn’t hurt.

Illian then killed himself.

Police say Perez broke up with Illian last year.

It’s the third death at a California Costco in recent days. On Friday, an off-duty Los Angeles policeman shot and killed a man his attorney says attacked him at a Corona store.

And a woman died Sunday after being mauled by dogs in the parking lot of a Bakersfield store.
