  • An off-duty firefighter shot two people, killing one, at a Los Angeles County fire station Tuesday morning, officials said at a news conference.
  • The shooting took place around 10:50 a.m. PT when authorities received reports about a shooting at Fire Station 81 Agua Dulce, California, about 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, according to Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby.
  • Upon arrival, first responders found a 44-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his torso who was pronounced dead at the scene, said Brandon Dean with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department homicide bureau.

  • The man was a firefighter specialist and engineer who's been with the department for more than 20 years, Osby said.
  • "As a fire chief, I've dealt with a lot of death and lot of fallen members of our department and I always prayed we would never have a line-of-duty death," Osby said through tears. "I never thought that if it occurred it would occur in this fashion."
  • In the process of fighting the fire, deputies saw a man in a pool with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
  • "We feel fairly confident that is our shooter, but we can't say with 100% certainty," Dean said, adding that it's unknown if the suspect's wound was self-inflicted. No deputies fired at the suspect.
