BRIEF: 2 dead, 1 wounded in shooting at Willowbrook liquor store

April 05--Two people were killed and another wounded Monday in a shooting at a Willowbrook liquor store, fire officials said.

The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. near 135th Street and Avalon Boulevard, about one block from the northwestern border with Compton, said Supervisor Bernard Peters of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Two people were found dead outside the liquor store, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Steven Tousey said. Around the corner, another person was found with a gunshot wound to the buttocks, Tousey said.

The injured person was taken to the hospital in unknown condition.

KABC-TV Channel 7 reported that the shooting happened at a strip mall, and aerial footage broadcast by the station showed what appeared to be two bodies covered by white drapes outside a row of stores.

It's unclear what led to the shooting, which is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
