A 17-year-old girl was among three people believed to be family members who were killed Thursday in an apparent shooting inside a Lakewood home.
Deputies and Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded about 7:55 a.m. Thursday to the 5800 block of Lorelei Avenue, near South Street.
When deputies arrived, they were met outside the home by a woman who was taken into custody for questioning, while inside they found three dead people — the teen girl and a man and a woman, all thought to be from the same family, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Detective Daniel Vizcarra told reporters at the scene.
He said a gun was recovered at the home.
Firefighters cleared the location by 8:51 a.m. and did not take anyone to a hospital, a fire department, spokesman said.
There was no outside threat to the public, Vizcarra said.
