Two Dead, Six Hurt in Los Angeles Festival Shooting

A mass shooting at an unofficial after-party following the Hard Summer music festival in downtown Los Angeles left two people dead and six injured around 1 a.m. near 14th Place and Paloma Street. The deceased victims were a 25- to 30-year-old man who died at the scene and a 52-year-old woman who died at a hospital. Some victims were transported by ambulance, while others self-reported to the hospital. The party had been previously shut down by police, who arrested one person for firearm possession earlier in the evening. Witnesses mentioned an argument may have preceded the shooting, and some reported seeing shots fired from a red sedan, though this detail remains unconfirmed. The event, attended by dozens, was reportedly promoted on social media, and police continue to investigate the motive and search for suspects.
