Two people were killed and six others injured in a shooting that occurred early Monday following a post-festival party in downtown Los Angeles, according to local authorities.
Los Angeles Police Department Officer Norma Eisenman stated that officers initially responded around 11 pm Sunday to disperse a large gathering, after spotting a person suspected of carrying a firearm entering a building in the city’s warehouse district. The individual was arrested at the scene.
The shooting took place hours after the Hard Summer Music Festival concluded at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, located approximately 14 kilometres from the incident site, as reported by KTLA-TV.
Around 1 am, following the dispersal of the party, police received reports of gunfire. Upon returning to the scene, officers discovered a man dead. Further investigation revealed several victims had sustained gunshot wounds.
A woman later succumbed to her injuries in hospital, while six others were transported for emergency medical treatment. Their conditions remain unknown.
Authorities have yet to identify a suspect, and investigators continue to examine the scene, which has been under police control since the early morning hours.
