Gunfire erupts at California college .....
ReplyDeleteAlleged gunman said to be in custody after injuring at least three people with no initial reports of deaths....
Several people were wounded when shots were fired at a California college, and an alleged gunman was apparently taken into custody, witnesses and reports said.
Three people were injured at Santa Monica College on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Times, while live television showed police swarming into the area, west of Los Angeles.
ABC7 television reported that the alleged shooter was injured.
A California Highway Patrol spokeswoman told KCAL9 television that it initially received reports of a suspect opening fire at a bus nearby.
President Barack Obama, on his way to a desert summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, was in Santa Monica speaking at a Democratic fundraiser about 5km from the scene of the reported shooting.
Secret Service spokesman Edwin M. Donovan told a pool reporter traveling with Obama: "We are aware of the incident and it is not impacting the visit. It's a local police matter at this point."
AP reported that several victims and the shooter were believed to be "down", quoting Santa Monica police Sergeant Rudy Flores, who did not elaborate on their wounds.
Flores said numerous witnesses called to report a man on a street corner shooting at vehicles including a bus.
Santa Monica College is a two-year college with about 34,000 students.
A spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol, Sergeant Denise Joslin, told local television that there were no reports of fatalities, "but that is not something that I would rule out."
"We are not sure that it was a single shooter yet," Joslin added.

Five dead in Santa Monica shooting rampage.....
ReplyDeleteAt least five people are dead and several others injured after a gun rampage in the beachfront city of Santa Monica, California, police say.
The attack began at a house and ended on a college campus where police say they shot the gunman in the library.
Police initially put the death toll at six, but later revised it to five people dead, including the shooter.
The gunman was in his late 20s and had been carrying an assault-style rifle, say witnesses.
President Barack Obama was at a fundraiser not far from where the shooting unfolded just before noon on Friday.
'Boom, boom, boom'
The gunman, dressed in black and wearing an ammunition belt and bullet-proof jacket, began by firing shots at the house, witnesses said.
The property was then engulfed by fire although it is not clear how the blaze started.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the first two victims were the gunman's father and brother.
Neighbour Jerry Rathner said she witnessed the shooting from her veranda, the Associated Press reported.
The gunman then walked to the street corner, pointed his gun at a driver and told her to pull over.
He signalled to another car with a female driver to slow down and fired into the car several times.
Ms Rathner said she rushed to help the victim and saw she had a shoulder injury.
"He fired three to four shots into the car, boom, boom, boom, right at her," Ms Rathner said.
Authorities say the violence then moved to a street corner near Santa Monica College where the suspect fired at passing vehicles.
The gunman then entered the campus where he is said to have shot a woman as he made his way toward the college library, where students were studying for final exams.
"We saw a woman get shot in the head," administrative assistant Trena Johnson told the Associated Press. "I haven't been able to stop shaking."........http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22823290
