Santa Monica College was placed on lockdown Friday after
reports that a suspect fired a gun inside a campus building just before noon.
Five people -- including the gunman -- are dead after a
shooting rampage that began at a residence and ended on campus. Several people
are being treated for their wounds; one was critically wounded, one is in
serious but stable condition and three had minor injuries, confirmed Santa
Monica Police Sergeant Richard Lewis during an 8:20 p.m. PST press conference.
Two of the victims, found in a burning house on the 2000

gunman, the Los Angeles Times reports. Lewis didn't confirm the relationship

At the time of the press conference, police believe there
was only one shooter, added Sgt. Lewis. One person they took into custody after
the shooting was questioned and then released.
