One person has been killed and three were injured in a shoot-out at the high-end Standard Hotel in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday night.

All of the victims were believed to be guests at the hotel in downtown Los Angeles, according to KTLA.

It is believed a fight broke out when a group of people couldn't get into a birthday party on the hotel's 12th floor at around 2.20am.
