Skull at spiritual shop prompts probe

COMPTON, Calif. -- Authorities found one human skull and eight containers with potentially more at a shop that sells spiritual items. Los Angeles County sheriff's Capt. Steve Katz said deputies went to the business Friday after a woman complained of animal cruelty. Katz said investigators found a skull inside a pot. He said the coroner's office collected the skull and eight other pots that may contain skulls. Katz said it appears the skull may have been bought from a legal source and was being used for a religious ceremony. -- Associated Press
