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.

A survivor of the Kenya university massacre in which 148 people were killed has told how she hid from gunmen by covering herself with clothes in a wardrobe.
Cynthia Cheroitich was found by security forces two days after the attack, as medical staff carried out the grim task of dealing with the victims' bodies.
The atrocity was carried out by four gunmen from the al Qaeda-linked Somalia-based terror group al Shabaab, who were killed at the end of the day-long siege.
Ms Cheroitich, 19, said from her hospital bed that she had hid in a large cupboard, refusing to emerge when some of her classmates came out of hiding at the demands of the extremists.
She said the Islamist militants separated the group into thoser who could read Arabic and who could not.

Ms Cheroitich, a Christian, said: "I was just praying to my God." She also said she drank lotion to stave off thirst and hunger.
She said she did not believe that rescuers urging her to come out of her hiding place were there to help, suspecting at first that they were militants.
It was only when security forces had one of her teachers appeal to her that she did she come out, she said.
Fellow student Cheruiot Tiebafy told how he used the blood of his colleagues to survive Thursday's massacre at Garissa University College.

He said: "Actually I am the only man who survived from all the boys who were held hostage.
"I just smeared the blood of my colleagues, I ate the blood to be my lunch and I go to sleep there for around 13 good hours when we got to be hostage and I pretended to be dead.
"They turned me around, they kicked me but I'm alive."
As Al Shabaab warned of more attacks, claiming: "Kenyan cities will run red with blood", the country's president said the planners and financiers of assaults like the one at the university were "deeply embedded in our communities".

A tentative deal to curb Iran's nuclear programme has been heralded as "a first step towards productive interactions with the world" by the country's president.
As celebrations broke out on the streets of Tehran, Hassan Rouhani made a televised address to the Iranian people.
He said: "Today is a day that will remain in the historic memory of the Iranian nation. Some think that we must either fight the world or surrender to world powers.
There were celebrations on the streets of Tehran after Mr Obama's speech
"We say it is neither of those, there is a third way. We can have co-operation with the world."
Mr Rouhani rose to power in a landslide two years ago - making a pledge to voters that he would bring decades of international isolation to an end.

In the agreement reached on Thursday, Iran would reduce its reserves of enriched uranium, which some nations fear could be used to produce a nuclear bomb.
Additionally, the country would dismantle nearly 13,000 centrifuges - and invasive inspections from international bodies would prevent Iran from violating the deal.
In return, many sanctions would be lifted - providing £100bn of relief to the Iranian economy.
Even though President Barack Obama has hailed the deal as a "historic understanding", diplomats have said that tough negotiations lie ahead of a final deadline on 30 June - warning that the deal could be prone to collapse at any time.

Other world powers involved in brokering the deal included Russia, China, France, Germany and the UK - yet Israel has voiced public opposition to the agreement, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming it could lead to the destruction of his country.
In a statement, he said: "Israel demand that any final agreement with Iran will include a clear and unambiguous Iranian commitment to Israel's right to exist."
Responding to Mr Netanyahu's claims, a White House spokesman pledged that the US would not support a deal which could endanger Israel - a key regional ally to the States.
Iran has always maintained its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes.
Hardline Somali al Shabaab extremists who have carried out an armed raid on a university in eastern Kenya are responsible for a catalogue of deadly terror attacks in the region.
With the raid in Garissa the latest, here are some of the other atrocities committed by the group:

The USS Carl Vinson is one of the largest warships in the world.
From her current position in the Gulf, this American super carrier is the spearhead of the air campaign against Islamic State.
The 60 fighter jets onboard have flown more than 3,000 missions and dropped 700 bombs since arriving in the region in October.
Simply no other Navy in the world can match this capability.
The ship's commander describes it as "American power, at its finest". Standing on its 1,000ft deck, it's hard to disagree,
But for all the statistics, it's also hard to gauge what impact the Carl Vinson is having.
Video:Cockpit Video: Take-Off And Landing
The ship is just one part of the air campaign, albeit a significant part.
More often than not though, planes return to the ship with all their bombs attached.
The Commander of the Strike Group, Rear Admiral Chris Grady, argues that his pilots are winning.
"Over the course of the campaign we have destroyed many vehicles, tanks, artillery pieces, fighting positions, training camps," he said.
"We've killed their fighters, we've killed their leadership.
"We've eliminated vast sources of revenue in the form of Gulf gasoline and fuel oil that they've been selling to resource themselves.
"Because of that they're now no longer able to mass, to manoeuvre, to command and control, or protect their own strategic lines of communication."
The carrier's contribution is more than a third of the entire coalition.
Because of her position, most of the strikes are over Iraq. Flying north, the pilots can be over IS positions in little more than an hour.
When operations are in full swing, aircraft can be landing or taking off every 45 seconds.
"The pilots take videos every time they launch missiles so we can check for battle damage assessment," Captain Karl Thomas, the ship's Commanding Officer told us.
"I get a chance to view those videos as well and I would tell you that bombs versus ISIL fighters is not a fair fight."
The Carl Vinson is the flagship of a Strike Group - a collection of warships and submarines that sail close by, providing protection and support.
She stays in a tight grid, in international waters, sailing in a square, sometimes little more than 30 or 40 miles from the coast of Iran.

At one point during our stay, an Iranian coastguard boat followed the ship, at safe distance.
Watching, keeping an eye on an old enemy.
The relationship between the two navies is "professional" we're told.
The two countries have been flying jets in the same airspace - Iraq - bombing the same enemy - Islamic State - but, not communicating, not collaborating.
At least that is what we're told, repeatedly.
Landing on the Carrier is dangerous, especially at night.
The pilots must constantly adjust the approach of their plane to match the runway which is set at an angle.
Coming in at 150mph, a hook underneath must catch one of four wires stretched across the runway.
It will bring the plane to a stop in two seconds.
If the pilots miss, and it does happen, they must take off immediately and try again.
To anticipate this, rather than hitting the brake on touchdown, the pilots are trained to immediately put on the thrust, going against instinct.
Five thousand men and women serve on board.
The ship is powered by two nuclear turbines meaning, in theory, it can stay at sea without needing to dock and refuel.
It is only the human crew that need replenishing, and with an air campaign in full swing, missiles and bombs must be restocked.

Immediately below deck, in four gargantuan hangars, aircraft are repaired and maintained.
It is no easy task keeping them airworthy during a lengthy and intense campaign.
On 2 May 2013 the USS Carl Vinson secured her place in American legend.
Before dawn the body of Osama bin Laden was secretly flown aboard.
He'd been killed by US Navy Seals a few hours earlier in Pakistan.
He was buried at sea in a 50-minute ceremony at noon, his body pushed into the water not far from where the ship sails today.
Few knew about it.
"We were told we had a guest, and then told we no longer had a guest," one remembers.
When the USS Carl Vinson left San Diego last summer, it was on a routine deployment.
They now find themselves at war.
It's been a long mission and it isn't over yet.
When they return home they will have been at sea for nine-and-a-half months.
"We'll work hard, until the job is done," a young officer tells us. "Then we play."
Former New Zealand rugby union captain Mils Muliaina has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
The 34-year-old Connacht full back, who earned 100 caps for the All Blacks, is suspected of involvement in an incident in Cardiff last month.
He was forced out of Friday night's European Challenge Cup quarter-final tie against Gloucester after 34 minutes, because of injury.
However, shortly after the final whistle, television pictures showed Muliaina being taken away by police.
A spokesman for Gloucestershire Police said: "A man in his 30s was arrested at Kingsholm Stadium on Friday 3 April on suspicion of sexual assault in relation to an incident in Cardiff in March.
"The man has been handed over to officers from South Wales Police who are investigating the incident."
Details of the incident have not been confirmed.
Muliaina was in the Welsh capital playing for Connacht against Cardiff Blues on 6 March.
A 73-year-old Oklahoma reserve police officer "inadvertently" shot dead a suspect after confusing his gun for his Taser, say authorities.
Tulsa County deputy Robert Bates is on administrative leave after Thursday's killing.
It happened as police tried to apprehend Eric Courtney Harris, 44, in the car park of a Dollar General store.
The convicted felon was allegedly trying to sell a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and ammunition to an undercover police officer.
When members of the Tulsa Violent Crimes unit moved in to arrest Harris during the sting operation he fled on foot, say police.
The reserve officer, a member of the task force, was among the task force deputies.
Police say they caught Harris and forced him to the ground, but he continued to resist arrest.
The officers "observed him reaching for his waistband area ... causing concern for the deputies' safety", according to the authorities.
At this point, police said the reserve officer "was attempting to use less lethal force, believing he was utilising a Taser, when he inadvertently discharged his service weapon, firing one round which struck Harris".
He died later in hospital.
It is not clear if the suspect was carrying a gun at the time of the arrest.
Tulsa County Sheriff's Office said the reserve deputy would be interviewed on Monday as part of their investigation into the shooting.
The Moon was tinged with red for a short lunar eclipse which was seen by stargazers in parts of the Pacific Rim.
The eclipse - in which the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow - was seen in northern Japan, parts of Australia and areas of western North America.

It began at 7.15pm in Japan and at around 8.54pm the moon was fully covered by the Earth's shadow.
Residents of Tokyo – keen to see the local cherry blossoms with the rare background – gave up on viewing the so-called "blood moon" due to thick cloud.
