A man died Sunday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a shooting range in Van Nuys, Los Angeles Police Department said.
The victim was shot in the torso at around 2:25 p.m. at a shooting range at 16140 Cohasset Street in Van Nuys, officer Rosario Herrera said. That's the location of The Target Range, an indoor shooting range and gun store.
It's not yet clear if the shooting was a suicide or accident, Herrera said. The victim's name hasn't yet been released.
