An off-duty firefighter shot two people, killing one, at a Los Angeles County fire station Tuesday morning, officials said during a news conference Tuesday.
The off-duty employee, a firefighter specialist and engineer, was found dead in a burning home about 10 miles from the scene of the shooting, officials said. Officials did not identify the victims or the suspect.
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, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby said.
An LAFD captain, a 54-year-old man, was also found with gunshot wounds and taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical, but stable condition, Osby said.
