A Universal Studios employee's ex-boyfriend has shot himself in front of guests at the Los Angeles area theme park.
He put the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger near the new Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride on Friday afternoon, say police.
A woman who works at Mel's Diner inside the tourist attraction called park security after seeing her ex-boyfriend, the father of her child, in the park.
She had obtained two restraining orders against him after incidents at the park, including vandalising her car, according to the authorities.
A policewoman confronted the man in a designated-smoking area, whereupon he drew the gun and shot himself.
"The deputy tried to talk him out of it, but after going back and forth for 30 seconds or so, he shot himself," Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Lt Eddie Hernandez told reporters.
Several guests saw the suicide. Many other park-goers heard the shot but did not witness the death.
Rosie Love, who had just gone on the Despicable Me ride with her daughter, told NBC News: "Everyone was hysterical and praying.
"We heard there was a guy with a gun near one of the water rides."
The man was able to bring the weapon into the park because security search the belongings of guests, but rarely use metal detectors, authorities say.
Universal Studios remained open and was co-operating with the shooting investigation, it said in a statement.
