Eight people were shot at a Southern California apartment complex
pool Sunday and the gunman was killed by police, authorities said.
San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said several
of the victims were in critical conditions at various hospitals in the
area. Zimmerman described the shooter as a white male who was wearing
brown shorts, but she did not have any information about a the motive.
Police arrived at the La Jolla Crossroads Apartments at around 6:07 p.m. local time.
A witness told Fox 5 San Diego
that he saw three people had been shot on a sidewalk at the apartment
complex. He said he ran into the clubhouse and saw two other people
bloodied.
"We looked at the pool area where the shooter was
sitting there with a beer in one hand and a gun in the other," a witness
told the station. "The suspect looked pretty relaxed, pretty relaxed."
Zimmerman said a police helicopter was the first to
arrive at the scene and the pilot saw the shooter appear to reload his
gun at the pool.
