An abducted 15-year-old girl and her father - a fugitive wanted in the death of the teen's mother - were killed amid a shootout with law enforcement Tuesday on a highway in California's high desert, authorities said.

The teenager, Savannah Graziano, was wearing tactical gear as she ran toward sheriff's deputies during the firefight, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus.

Authorities did not specify whether the teen was struck by bullets fired by her father or responding deputies.
