A 51-year-old woman was killed and a 49-year-old man was hospitalized after being shot at a home in Tarzana on Saturday night.

Los Angeles police arrested 59-year-old Hrant Meguerian and charged him with murder and attempted murder. He is being held on $1-million bail.

The shooting took place about 7:20 p.m. Saturday at a home in the 4500 block of Vanalden Avenue.
