One person was killed and 13 others were injured after lightning from a rare summer thunderstorm struck two Los Angeles-area locations Sunday afternoon.

Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office told The Associated Press that a 20-year-old man was struck by lightning on Venice Beach and pronounced dead at a local hospital Sunday evening. A second man struck by lightning on the beach was listed as being in critical condition, while eight others, including a 15-year-old, remained hospitalized.

In all, 13 people were struck by lightning at Venice Beach, while a 57-year-old man was hit while golfing on Catalina Island. The man was hospitalized in stable condition.

City fire spokesman Katherine Main said four people were treated at Venice
