Five people shot dead in California homeless camp
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Five people were found shot dead in a homeless encampment south of Los Angeles on Sunday, police said.
The two women and three men were not identified and officials with the Long Beach Police Dept. said they did not have a motive or suspect.
Acting on an anonymous tip, police discovered the bodies in a brush-filled area between some commercial buildings and a freeway in the city of Long Beach, about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
It was not clear if the victims were homeless, or had just been visiting the encampment, police said.
