Two men were found dead in a Long Beach home after police responded to reports of gunfire that resulted in an officer-involved-shooting, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
Long Beach officers went to the 3700 block of Gardenia Avenue just after 1:40 a.m. after a resident reported hearing two shots, police said.<\/p>\n
After arriving, officers found a man in a home who threatened to shoot at officers, police said. The officers retreated and called for backup.<\/p>\n
The suspect later allegedly fired shots at the officers, leading one officer to shoot back, police said.<\/p>\n
No officers were injured.<\/p>\n
The suspect remained inside the home as a SWAT team was called in, police said.<\/p>\n
After entering the home, they discovered two men dead, police said, both with gunshot wounds to the upper body.<\/p>\n
Evidence, including multiple firearms, was found inside the home, police said.<\/p>\n
Whether the man identified as the suspect was believed to have killed the man identified as a subject, was not yet known. It was also not yet confirmed if the suspect died from the officer\u2019s gunfire or a self-inflicted gun shot.<\/p>\n
The Long Beach Police Department said they will be conducting a thorough review of the incident. The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office will conduct their own independent investigation of the officer involved shooting.<\/p>\n
The identities of the two men were withheld by police pending notification of their relatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two men were found dead in a Long Beach home after police responded to reports of gunfire that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,723,138,23,131,133,132,137,100,135,136],"class_list":["post-499769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-california","tag-crime","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-local-news","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-los-angeles-county","tag-news","tag-shooting","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499769","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=499769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
