In California five people including the gunman
have been killed and several injured in a string of
shootings. Police have confirmed a man dressed
in black went on the rampage in the town of
Santa Monica.
The killings of the four happened in several
different locations and a few miles from where
President Barack Obama was attending a political
fundraiser.
The gunman was shot dead by police in a
community college library. It’s reported a second
person is in custody connected with the violence.
One Santa Monica City College student gave his
account of what happened.
“I heard a loud bang. But I didn’t think anything of
it. So when I started to actually walk towards the
library, I saw people running. So I was in panic
mode. And a girl told me that I had to get off
campus because there was somebody shooting.
So I took off running with her.”
Santa Monica police say the exact sequence of
what happened is under investigation and
authorities don’t know of any motive for the
killings. The Secret Service called the shootings a
“local police matter”.
