LOS ANGELES - A man opened fire outside of the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles Tuesday morning before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life, police said.

周二上午，一名男子在中国驻洛杉矶领事馆门外开枪，之后将枪口对准自己，自杀身亡，警方说。

The man, a Chinese national, fired "multiple rounds" at the consulate building in the Koreatown neighborhood, said officer Mike Lopez, a Los Angeles Police department spokesman.

这名男子是中国公民，他朝韩国城附近的领事馆建筑多轮开枪，洛杉矶警察局发言人Mike Lopez说。

The man, whose name was not immediately released, then fatally shot himself in his car outside of the building, Lopez said.

这名男子的名字没有立即被公布，朝领事馆建筑开枪后，他就在领事馆外面的车里饮弹而亡，Lopez说。

Investigators said no one else was injured in the shooting.

调查人员说这起枪击事件中无其他人员受伤。

Police could not immediately provide any additional information about the shooting or the man's possible motive.

警方尚不能立刻提供额外信息，以及他这样做的动机。

Lopez said homicide detectives were conducting an investigation.

Lopez表示凶杀案的侦探正在对此事件进行调查。

A call to the consulate rang unanswered Tuesday afternoon.

当日下午致电领事馆，无人接听。

In 2011, a man was arrested after police said he fired nine shots at a security guard outside the same consulate, but only hit the building.

2011年一名男子在这个领事馆朝保安连开9枪后被抓，但是枪手只射到了领事馆建筑。
