Four people died after what Los Angeles police characterized as a murder-suicide in the Granada Hills area on Saturday.
Officers responded shortly before 7 p.m. to a report of a shooting in the 11600 block of Lerdo Avenue and found four people who were pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators determined the shooting was a murder-suicide, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
After receiving the call, there was no response when officers arrived and knocked on the door, police said.
Police forced their way into the home and a survivor of the shooting directed them to three victims.
Among the deceased were a man in his 40s and two women, one in her 40s and the other in her 80s.
All died from gunshot wounds, police said.
Officers also found a man in his 80s who was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a different area of the home.
He is believed to have shot the others, police said.
