The shooting took place on Springdale Boulevard, authorities said.

PALM SPRINGS - A 16-year-old girl died Thursday in what appears to have been an accidental, self-inflicted shooting, a Palm Springs police spokesman said.

Officers responded shortly before 2 p.m. to a call on the 2500 block of Springdale Boulevard, south of Forest Hill Boulevard and east of Kirk Road.

The girl’s family has been notified, but village police did not disclose her name or offer further details on the incident either Thursday night or Friday, saying their investigation remained open.

Earlier Thursday, Palm Springs police confirmed that they were investigating a shooting involving juveniles and were conducting interviews in connection to the case.

Village police spokesman Edgar Morley stressed that there was no danger to the public.
