L.A. County sheriff’s detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding a self-inflicted shooting in West Hollywood that left an elderly man in grave condition and a 73-year-old woman dead.
Deputies responded about 8 p.m. Wednesday to a report of someone screaming from an apartment in the 800 block of North Kings Road, said Deputy Byron Ward.
Deputies found the woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was believed to be a resident of the apartment, Ward said.
After searching the apartment, deputies found an 84-year-old male suffering from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Ward said.
The weapon was recovered at the scene.
It was unclear what the relationship was between the man and woman, Ward said.
They were taken to a hospital, where the woman died.
