The incident took place about 12:10 p.m. at the mall at 8500 Beverly Blvd., said Officer Mike Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Section.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, Lopez said.
It’s unknown why the man shot himself or why he chose the Beverly Center to commit suicide. His name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
No other people were hurt at the mall, Lopez said.
I just found out this sad news from a former employee & we worked with this man “Ted Kim” this story is ironic because of the fact that Ted; was our general manager at FOREVER 21 DISTRIBUTION
One can’t imagine why, but we all wrestle with our inner demons in our own way. May you rest in peace dear Man, you must have been in pain.
Sad
I call it beverly heaven ….love that place…RIP bro
