San Pedro suicide
A man who shot and killed himself at a San Pedro park was reportedly sending e-mails to friends before he took his own life, the police said Tuesday.
The 44-year-old man shot himself around 7 a.m. on Monday inside a bunker at Angels Gate Park near 36th and Gaffey streets, according to Craig Harvey, a spokesman for the Coroner's Department.
A woman walking her dog found the deceased man, said Los Angeles police Lt. David McGill, a detective at the Harbor Division.
The man was identified, but his name is being withheld until his family is notified.
McGill said officers had looked for the man since early in the morning after people called and said they were getting e-mails from him in which he said he was going to commit suicide.
