Two homeless men were shot and killed near LAPD's Central station.

A shooting at a smoke shop in downtown Los Angeles left two men dead and another wounded Saturday.

Los Angeles Police Department officers from the department's Central Division responded just after midnight to the Cloud Smoke Shop at 560 S. Los Angeles St. near Maple Avenue regarding a shots-fired call and found a man on the ground with gunshot wounds, an LAPD spokesman said.

A second victim with gunshot wounds was found a few blocks away. Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded and pronounced both victims dead at the scene.

A third man was wounded but did not cooperate with officers at the scene, police said.

There was no suspect description and the shootings are under investigation.
