Three people have been killed and at least four injured in a shooting in Los Angeles, the city's fire department said Saturday, marking the fourth mass shooting in California in a week.
A spokesperson said Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call for help at 2:35 a.m. on a residential street northwest of downtown.
The fire department said responders found three dead and two injured, who were taken to a hospital. The spokesman mentioned that two others took themselves to the hospital.
CNN affiliate KCAL explained that the shooting occurred outside Beverly Hills in the Beverly Crest community. Three victims were shot inside a car while four others were standing outside a house.
Police said the first call came about an "attack with a deadly weapon," the station reported.
The station said that the four people who were taken to a hospital are in critical condition.
This is the third mass shooting in California since January 21, when a gunman entered a dance studio in Monterey Park, in the Los Angeles metro, and killed 11 people.
Seven people were killed Monday on farms in Half Moon Bay, Northern California.
Hours later, five people were shot and wounded in Oakland. One man, 18 years old, died.
