A woman fatally shot herself in a vehicle Tuesday just south of downtown Los Angeles, police said.
The shooting was reported about 1 p.m. outside a laundromat in the area of Maple Avenue and East 20th Street, near the Santa Monica (10) Freeway, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name was withheld pending notification of her next of kin, but the LAPD reported that she was in her 50s.
Two people — one male and one female — were initially suspected in the shooting, but investigators later determined they were in the car with the woman and fled the scene after she shot herself, according to the LAPD.
No further details were immediately available.
Metro Blue (A) Line services were interrupted between the San Pedro and Grand stations as authorities investigated the shooting, but resumed about 3:50 p.m.
