A man shot his wife and then himself in North Hollywood Wednesday morning in an apparent murder-suicide attempt, according to police, who said both were in stable condition following the incident.

Authorities received a shots fired call reporting a man down and woman screaming at about 6 a.m., Capt. Brian Whitten of the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Officers responded to the scene — which aerial video showed was located in the 11200 block of Hatteras Street — and found two victims with gunshot wounds, according to LAPD Officer Ricardo Hernandez.

One of the victims, a woman, was found in an upstairs bedroom with a single gunshot wound to the upper body, Whitten said.

The woman’s husband, and the suspected shooter, was also found with a gunshot wound to his upper body, according to Whitten,

Video from Sky5 showed what looked like a rifle or shotgun on the ground near an apartment building, but it was unclear whether that was the weapon used in the shooting.

Whitten later confirmed a rifle was found near the husband.

“It appears that there was a domestic dispute and the suspect — who is the male — shot his wife and then shot himself, ” Whitten said, describing the incident as an attempted murder-suicide.
