LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department said a baby, a toddler and two adults were shot to death in a North Hills neighborhood on Wednesday night.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said firefighters responded to the 16000 block of Londelius Street in North Hills just before 7:50 p.m. When crews arrived, they found four victims, all of whom were pronounced dead at the scene, according to fire officials.

On Thursday, the LA County Medical Examiner released the ages of three of the victims. They identified a 31-year-old woman, a 2-year-old child and a 6-month-old child. The fourth victim has not been identified and is still pending notification of next of kin.

"It's hard, like I don't know how someone could be driven to do something like that, that is such innocence," said Luis Enriquez, a neighbor. "I don't know who did it, I don't know the whole information, but to me, even if it's a stranger, how can you do that to a child. Two children in this case."

Officers said they are not searching for a suspect. The LAPD is continuing to investigate the incident. Investigators described the shooting as a murder-suicide.
