Nov. 12--Two people were killed and a third was injured Thursday morning during a domestic violence dispute among family members in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood, police said.
The shooting occurred about 10:53 a.m. in a home in the 1100 block of West 55th Street, said Officer Jenny Houser with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers arrived to find two people dead inside the home. A third person suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital.
Houser said one of the two people dead was the shooter.
LAPD Cmdr. Phillip Tingirides told KNBC-TV that the shots rang out during a family dispute. A family member pulled out a handgun and shot two people before another relative got a weapon and shot the attacker, Tingirides said.
"This is a really tragic situation," he said. "This is all family related."
The deaths mark the ninth and 10th homicides that have occurred in the last 12 months in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood, according to the Times Homicide Report.
