A devastating late-night shooting has left four people dead, including two children, in North Hills, where authorities are conducting a homicide investigation. 
The violence unfolded on Londelius Street in the 16000–16200 block just before 8 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 
Moments earlier, around 7:50 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department rushed to the same block after emergency calls reported multiple victims down inside a residence. 
When first responders arrived, they discovered four people already beyond help, all pronounced dead at the scene. 
A grim discovery that quickly turned the quiet residential street into an active crime scene. 
The deceased have been identified as a man and woman who authorities say are between 35 and 40 years old, along with a child between the age of 5 and 7 and a 4-month-old baby. 
Police are investigating the incident as a murder-suicide, ABC reports. 
North Hills resident Undreal Turner told the outlet, "It's just shocking to be in our neighborhood, something that drastic and devastating in the neighborhood. 
It's sad. 
Four people lost their lives today. 
We really need to hone in on our moms, and even dads, just to make sure, in the neighborhood, people that you know, that they're OK. 
Do they need any help? 
Do they need any assistance? 
Do they need any support?" 
This is a developing story.
