A man and a woman were critically wounded in a shooting behind a Target store in a Los Angeles suburb Sunday night.
The suspect was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound a short distance away, according to KTLA.
Baldwin Park police were called to the scene just before 9:30 p.m. and found the two people suffering from gunshot wounds, firefighters told KCBS. They were taken to a hospital while police worked to identify a suspect.
Police did not say how they identified the suspect or tracked him some distance from the crime scene, but he was found dead before midnight in Covina about five miles away, KTLA said.
“As they attempted to make contact with the suspect, [officers] discovered he had suffered from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was deceased,” the Baldwin Park Police Department said in a media statement.
Police have also not publicly identified the dead suspect or his critically wounded victims.
