BALDWIN HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A preliminary magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck near Baldwin Hills Sunday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake hit at 9:17 p.m. Sunday about 1 mile southeast of Baldwin Hills and had depth of about 6 miles.

Residents in Beverly Hills, Westwood, Hollywood, South Los Angeles and Mid-City Los Angeles reported feeling shaking from the earthquake.

Los Angeles firefighters assessed more than 470 square miles of Los Angeles and found no damage or injuries.

Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said the earlier temblor was considered a foreshock because both struck in the same location within a few hours.
