2 dead after shooting in Long Beach neighborhood

The Long Beach Police Department sent a SWAT team to a neighborhood on Monday morning when two people died after a gunman opened fire. 

The apparent shooting happened at about 11:15 a.m. in the 300 block of East 63rd Street. When officers arrived, they found a woman with gunshot wounds to her upper body and a man suffering from unknown injuries. The man died at the scene while paramedics rushed the woman to a local hospital, where doctors later pronounced her dead. 

Investigators established a perimeter around the block after they believed the shooter ran into a nearby building. 

Officers were still trying to contact the man when SWAT arrived. 

After hours of attempting to coax the suspect out, officers finally went inside and found that the suspect, still unidentified, had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

Detectives have not determined a motive behind the shooting.
