Investigators later determined a man was walking on a sidewalk when an unknown person shot at him, striking him more than once in the upper body, police said. The wounded man pulled out his own firearm and shot back but did not strike the other shooter.

The Long Beach Police Department is investigating after what initially appeared to be a man’s suicide on Friday was in reality a homicide. The victim, a 72-year-old man, died inside his home in the 4700 block of Greenmeadow Road,

The man was found dead in his own home from a gunshot wound that authorities originally thought was self-inflicted.
