Santa Monica Shooting: Gunman Kills Four A gunman has been killed by police after a shooting spree that ended with four victims dead in the Californian city of Santa Monica. Santa Monica police chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said the rampage began just before noon on Friday when emergency calls reported shots fired and a house on fire. Officers arriving at the scene found a home engulfed in flames. The bodies of at least two men - said to be related to the gunman - were discovered inside. There are unconfirmed reports the pair were the man's father and brother. Students evacuate the campus A woman was also found shot in the arm in a car outside the home and was taken to hospital. Chief Seabrooks said the shooting continued as the gunman, dressed all in black and wearing what appeared to be a bullet vest, stole a vehicle and travelled west from that scene toward Santa Monica College, randomly shooting and killing several people on the way. The gunman sprayed a city bus with bullets, injuring at least one woman on board, and shot at several other cars as he made his way onto the community college campus. Police shot dead the gunman, Santa Monica authorities say The man shot at a police car and at officers before being chased into the school's library, where the suspect was killed after a shoot-out. One woman was shot on the campus. Chief Seabrooks said the unidentified gunman, described as a white male between the ages of 25 and 35, was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. One eyewitness said he "looked like a member of a Swat team." A second "person of interest" was arrested but later released as police said the gunman acted alone. A bullet-riddled car outside a house that burned near the campus Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre confirmed it received three victims, one of which was the deceased victim. One other is undergoing surgery, and another is in serious but stable condition. The campus was put on an immediate lockdown after the shooting, and other schools in the area were closed off. The situation unfolded about three miles (5km) from where President Barack Obama was appearing at a fundraiser, but the Secret Service said the incident did not affect his trip aside from his motorcade route being slightly altered. Students abandoned their belongings as they fled Santa Monica College, which has 34,000 students, is in the middle of final exams. Student Isamar Ortiz said he was in the campus' library when shots rang out. "We didn't know what it was until somebody started screaming and saying that there was shooting and when we heard that there was shooting we just immediately got up and got out of the building," he said. Everyone just rushed outside and we didn't know what was going on until they told us there was a shooting in the front of the library. Swat officers patrol the area Another student, Chad Lazzari, described the scene in the library as chaotic. As soon as people realised it was gunshots and it was real there was immediately a lot of panic. One of the doors wouldn't open so a lot of kids were panicking against a locked door and funnelled around to the other side," Mr Lazzari said. A woman who was on the bus that was shot told local TV station KTLA 5 that a man got out of a car as the bus was stopped at a red light and began shooting across the driver's side. She said the passengers began screaming and dropped to the floor, and that one female passenger was hit.
