Suspect in custody after South LA assisted living shooting injures 3

Three people were shot inside a South Los Angeles assisted living facility Monday morning.

LAPD officers swopped on the 7000 block of Denver Avenue at about 10:50 a.m. following reports of gunfire inside the facility.

Officers said they requested ambulances for three victims. Their conditions were not immediately known.

Dorothy Mobley, a caregiver who was inside the facility when the violence erupted, told KTLA she had only just entered the building when she encountered a custodian standing near the front desk.

According to Mobley, the worker said, “I’m tired of this,” before pulling out a gun and opening fire.

Mobley said she immediately fled the building.

“I was surprised, I never would have expected that,” she told the outlet, describing the suspected gunman as someone who had never caused problems.

“He’s a nice guy, he don’t bother nobody or anything. He’s a good guy,” she said.

Mobley said all three people who were struck by gunfire are employees at the facility.

The suspected shooter was taken into custody, authorities said.

Police have not released the suspect’s identity or disclosed what may have sparked the shooting.
Investigators also have not released additional information about the three victims or their injuries.
