Two women were killed and a third woman was injured after being shot in their South Gate home by the ex-husband of one of the victims, law enforcement sources tell NBC4 Investigates.
The shooting was reported just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday along San Luis Avenue in South Gate, LASD said. Police received an emergency call of a man shooting a firearm inside the residence.
When officers arrived, they encountered the armed man exiting the front door, who then fired at officers, police said. Officers reported hearing additional gunshots inside the home.
The gunman, described as a man in his 50s, shot three women, including a grandmother who was later transported to a hospital in stable condition, before turning the gun on himself, police tell NBC4 Investigates.
Identities of the deceased were not immediately released. The victims were described as a woman in her mid-20s and a woman in her early 50s.
Police tell NBC4 that the man lived across the street from his ex-wife. A police report was made for domestic violence in 2024, but the victim recanted.
A gun believed to be the one the suspect shot at South Gate officers with was recovered at the scene. The suspect had more than one gun, police said.
