An armed suspect who allegedly shot his grandmother and another person barricaded himself in a supermarket and then shot a woman dead in the US city of Los Angeles before being taken into custody on Saturday, police said.
Mayor Eric Garcetti said one woman was shot in the store and later declared dead at the site.
"I regret to inform you that there is one fatality that occurred inside, of a woman," Garcetti said, without further identifying the woman.
The suspect barricaded himself inside the supermarket with an unknown number of people, but was taken into custody "without incident," according to police.
"We have successfully taken the suspect into custody without incident. The situation remains fluid as officers move forward clearing the location," the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on its official Twitter account.
US President Donald Trump earlier tweeted that he was "watching Los Angeles possible hostage situation very closely."
