Details remain sketchy but this much is known as we post: LBPD responded to a shots fired call. Officers arrived and found two adult females suffering from gunshot wounds. LBFD paramedics pronounced the two women dead at the scene. The L.A. County Coroner's office has not yet identified the women publicly pending notification of legal next of kin.
