On Saturday evening at about 9:20 pm, Burbank Police Officers responded to the Olive Overpass, which is adjacent to the Burbank Metrolink Train Station, regarding reports of “shots fired.”
When officers arrived on the scene they found a deceased male on the overpass, who had suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was located at the scene.
Burbank Police Department Detectives responded and took over the investigation. The detectives will be working with the LA County Coroner’s Office on this case, which is being treated as a suicide investigation at this time.
The Olive Overpass was shut down for a period of time during the investigation, but opened to vehicle traffic after the completion.
The deceased has been identified as a 19 year old resident of Tarzana, who has ties to Burbank.
Anyone who may have information on this case is asked to contact Burbank Police Detectives at (818) 238-3210.
Editors Note: While Burbank Police has released the name of the victim, it’s myBurbank’s policy not to release the name of suicide victims unless there is notoriety to the person or there is also a crime associated with the suicide. We do not not want to encourage suicides by publishing names.
