What appears to be a domestic dispute over the proposed sale of a house turned into a shooting incident Saturday morning in Huntington Beach that resulted in one person killed and three others wounded.
According the HBPD, the incident took place around 10:50 a.m. in the 4500 block of Operetta Drive, south of Edinger Avenue and between Bolsa Chica Street and Fantasia Lane.
Arriving officers found three people in front of the home suffering from gunshot wounds. The injured were evacuated to an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital, but the suspect was still inside the house. Eventually, a man came out of the house, having sustained a “superficial” gunshot wound. He was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition.
At the hospital, one of the victims – a man – succumbed to his injuries. Another victim was treated and released and the third is still hospitalized and expected to survive.
During the incident, police set up a perimeter around the area, evacuated several homes near the residence and called in the SWAT team.
The shooting took place as a group of real estate professionals were with a family member to view the home. The names of the victims and suspected shooter are being withheld.
HBPD personnel will remain at the scene all night and the public is asked to avoid the area while the investigation continues.
