Police Probe Shooting Deaths as Possible Murder-Suicide
Los Angeles police on Monday were investigating the early-morning shooting deaths of a man and woman on a quiet Granada Hills cul-de-sac as a possible murder-suicide.
The victims, whose names were being held pending notification of relatives, were discovered dead about 5:30 a.m. on the front lawn of the Granada Pines apartments on Blackhawk Street near Balboa Boulevard, LAPD Lt. Bob Normandy said.
According to witnesses, the unidentified man shot the woman twice in the head and then turned the gun on himself. Police declined to elaborate on a motive for the killing.
The apartment’s manager said the couple did not live in the neighborhood, and residents said they had never seen the man’s sport utility vehicle or the woman’s station wagon in the area before Monday.
