A man shot and killed himself at the Universal Studios theme park Friday afternoon, a sheriff’s official said.
The shooting happened near the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride, but it was unclear if anyone witnessed it.
County firefighters were called to the 2900 block of Lankershim Boulevard at 2:24 p.m. to assist the sheriff’s department on a medical call and were on scene in five minutes.
In a statement, a park spokeswoman said the park remains open.
“We are working closely with law enforcement and corporate security on this ongoing investigation,” the statement says. “The safety and security of our guests is always of the utmost importance.”
