KOREATOWN (CBSLA.com) — A woman was found with a gunshot wound inside a car in Koreatown Friday morning, less than two miles away from an apparent suicide.

About 20 minutes later, police received a report of a man who reportedly shot himself about a mile and a half away. Police say he is in extreme critical condition.

Police say the two shootings are connected, but declined to say what the relationship was between the man and the woman.
