One person killed, two wounded in shooting near LA-area polling station

One person was killed and two others were wounded in a shooting Tuesday afternoon near a polling location in this city near Los Angeles.

A male suspect is dead, Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

Earlier Azusa police had said they were looking for a female suspect, but Corina told reporters at a nighttime news conference that there was no evidence of another shooter.

Police were searching yards in surrounding homes just to be sure there were no other victims or suspects.

The initial shooting was followed by a gun battle with responding police officers at the scene across the street from the Memorial Park North Recreation Center, where voters were spooked by a volley of shots.
