Two people were killed in a murder-suicide at UCLA on Wednesday, Los Angeles police say.

The LAPD's chief spokesman said a note was found at the scene that may be linked to the shooting, which occurred in a small office in the Engineering building. A law enforcement source told the Los Angeles Times it appears that a professor was shot by someone young enough to be a student, who then turned the gun on himself.
