警方称，周二，洛杉矶县消防局一名退伍军人死亡，一名队长受重伤，原因是一名下班的同志据称在南加州的一个消防站内开枪。

据调查人员称，这位身份不明的嫌疑人被发现死于他住所的一处明显是自己造成的枪伤，该枪伤被烧为平地。

然而，他们不能说这是嫌疑犯，因为房子还在燃烧。一旦安全，官员们就会上前确认此人的身份。

洛杉矶县警察局说，当地时间上午10点53分，阿瓜杜尔斯的洛杉矶县消防站81报告了这起枪击事件。

警方随后赶到现场，发现一名消防部门专家死在现场，这名专家被描述为一名44岁的男子，在消防部门有20年的工作经验。洛杉矶县消防局局长达里尔·奥斯本在周二下午的新闻发布会上说，第二名受害者被描述为54岁的上尉，被空运到亨利·梅奥·纽霍尔医院进行手术。

据Osby说，船长情况危急但稳定。

“作为一名消防队长，我处理过很多死亡事件，也处理过很多部门的倒下成员。我总是祈祷我们永远不会有责任死亡，如果发生了，它会以这种方式发生，”一个视觉上情绪化的Osby在新闻发布会上说。

洛杉矶县治安部门的布兰登·迪恩中尉说，消防队员向警察确认了嫌疑人，并向他们描述了他逃跑的车辆。奥斯本只会将嫌疑人描述为分配到该站的专家，他没有计划在周二工作。

迪恩说，当警察到达嫌疑人的家时，财产着火了，他们在后池区发现了他们认为是嫌疑人的人，显然是自己造成的枪伤。

迪恩说，警察和其他工作人员在进入房屋前等待灭火，因为他们确定房子里没有其他人。

一架消防直升机在房子上撒了一滴水，但财产被烧毁了。

调查仍在进行中，但消防部门和警方表示，他们尚未确定动机。

奥斯本说，他从未想到他的成员会在自己的“安全屋”里面临危险。他说，消防部门将为消防部门提供顾问和其他支持人员来处理精神创伤。

“我怀着沉重的心情站在这里。对洛杉矶县消防局来说，这真是悲伤和悲惨的一天，”他说。

Firefighter killed in shooting at LA County fire station, suspect believed to be found dead

A veteran Los Angeles County Fire Department member is dead and a captain was critically injured after an off-duty comrade allegedly opened fire inside a fire station in Southern California on Tuesday, the police said.

The unidentified suspect was believed to be found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at his residence, which burned to the ground, according to the investigators.

However, they can't say this is the suspect because the house is still burning. Once it's safe, officers will approach to confirm the person's identity.

The gunfire was reported at 10:53 a.m. local time at Los Angeles County Fire Station 81 in Agua Dulce, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

Officers responded to the scene and found a fire department specialist, who is described as a 44-year-old man with 20 years of experience with the fire department, dead at the scene. A second victim, described as a 54-year-old captain, was airlifted to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and went into surgery, LA County Fire Department Chief Daryl Osby said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

The captain was listed in critical but stable condition, according to Osby.

"As a fire chief, I’ve dealt with a lot of death and a lot of fallen members of my department. I always prayed we would never have a line of duty death and if it occurred, it would occur in this fashion," a visually emotional Osby said during the news conference.

Members of the firehouse identified the suspect to officers and gave them the description of his getaway vehicle, Lt. Brandon Dean of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. Osby would only describe the suspect as a specialist assigned to the station who wasn't scheduled to work on Tuesday.

When officers arrived at the alleged suspect's home, the property was on fire and they found who they believe to be the suspect in the back pool area with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, Dean said.

Officers and other crews waited for the fire to be put out before they entered the premises since they determined there was no one else inside the house, according to Dean.

A fire helicopter has made a water drop on the house, but the property burned to the ground.

The investigation is ongoing, but the fire department and police said they haven't determined a motive.

Osby said he never imagined that his members would face danger inside their own "safe house." He said the department would provide counselors and other support staff for the fire department to deal with the mental trauma.

"I stand here with a heavy heart. It's truly a sad day and tragic day for the LA County Fire Department," he said.
