A pair of men were found dead with gunshot wounds in a Long Beach home early Saturday morning after a shootout with police, authorities said.<\/p>\n
According to the Long Beach Police Department, officers responded to reports of gunshots in the 3700 block of Gardenia Avenue at about 1:41 a.m. The person who called authorities said they heard two shots coming from a nearby home.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, officers found a man inside the residence who threatened to shoot at them. The officers retreated and called for backup, LBPD said.<\/p>\n
The man then fired shots at the officers, at which one officer returned fire.<\/p>\n
The man stayed inside the home and a SWAT team was called to the scene. The SWAT team entered the home and found two men who died to gunshot wounds to the upper body.<\/p>\n
Police said the circumstances remain under investigation. Multiple guns were recovered from the home.<\/p>\n
It’s not yet clear if either of the men was shot by the officer, or if any of the shots were self-inflicted.<\/p>\n
“Officers were equipped with body-worn cameras,” the department said. “LBPD is in the process of reviewing the footage and will make that available to the public as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
No officers were harmed.<\/p>\n
No additional details were immediately made available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A pair of men were found dead with gunshot wounds in a Long Beach home early Saturday morning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499548,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-499547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
