A man and a woman were found dead in a home by the Hermosa Beach Police Department early this morning near the southern edge of the city on Thursday morning.
HBPD responded to a home after receiving a call of shots fired at 6:27 a.m.
When they arrived, police found a man and a woman dead.
Police did not release the nature of the deaths or the identities of the deceased. They also did not name any suspects in the deaths, saying that the incident is still under investigation.

Update, 2:30 p.m.: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigators, who have taken the lead on the case with assistance from HBPD, believe that the deaths are the result of an apparent domestic murder/suicide in which the female was shot by the male. A firearm was also found at the scene, officials said.
The identities of the deceased will be released following notification of next-of-kin, a statement from LACSD said.
