Gunman found dead after South LA standoff north of Harbor Gateway
This shooting and standoff occurred just over the lines of the Daily Breeze coverage area. It's just north of El Segundo Boulevard and the Harbor Gateway, and east of the Athens area:
Here's a report from City News Service:
LOS ANGELES - A woman was shot and critically wounded today in South Los Angeles, and her alleged assailant was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The woman was shot about 8 a.m. in the 600 block of Laconia Boulevard, and was taken to a
hospital in critical condition, said Officer April Harding of the Los Angeles Police
Department.
A SWAT team surrounded the residence for more than five hours before making entry just
before 2 p.m. and finding the suspected gunman dead of what appeared to be a self-inflicted
gunshot wound, said LAPD Officer Ana Aguirre. His name was withheld pending notification of
relatives.
Police had gone to the location on a report of a domestic dispute. Shortly after gunfire was
heard, the wounded woman came outside and was carried to safety by two officers. A short time later, an officer was seen carrying a child to safety.
The dead man's relationship to the woman and child were not immediately known.
