ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) -- A gunman in an Ontario cemetery killed two people before taking his own life on Saturday, according to police.

Ontario police said the shooting happened in the Bellevue Memorial Park located at 1240 W. G Street at about 3 p.m.

The three family members, including an elderly woman using a walker, got out of their car and began walking to a grave site.

He then shot himself, according to police.

The elderly woman with the walker was not injured.
