Two people killed in a shootout in Southern California, SWAT team takes charge

Two people including a gunman were killed on Saturday in a shootout at a law office in Southern California. A murder investigation was underway at the scene, Long Beach police said.

The wounded person was taken to a hospital, said Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, who described the person's condition as stable.

Long Beach police say the incident is over now but didn't elaborate. They received reports of a shooter around 2:25 pm (local time) on Saturday.

"This was a workplace violence incident," Long Beach police tweeted. 

Video showed people running from an unmarked building shouting about a shooting inside.

The office is about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles in Long Beach, a city of about 460,000 people on the southern tip of LA County. The two-story building is home to several law offices, but police did not specify what kind of business it is. 

The shooting brought a massive response from police, including members of a SWAT team, who filled the surrounding blocks after the shooting.
