A teenage girl was shot and killed inside an apartment in Arcadia, California, on Thursday morning. A man later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Pasadena, and police are investigating if there is a connection between the two scenes.
Arcadia police said officers were called to an apartment in the 800 block of West Huntington Drive at about 11 a.m. after receiving a report of a man who had fired a gun inside the home. When officers arrived, the man had left, and they found the girl suffering from a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The girl’s name has not been released because of her age. Police have not shared further details about the shooting or explained what led to it.
Later, Pasadena police responded to the 800 block of South Arroyo Parkway near Glenarm Street, where a man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to KABC.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau is investigating the girl’s death. Officials have not publicly confirmed how the incident in Arcadia is connected to the shooting in Pasadena.
