A gunman opened fire on a street corner near the campus of Santa Monica College, wounding at least four people, authorities said. Two people were later found dead in a burned home near the campus.
It was not immediately clear if the two events were related.
Police and witnesses said the gunfire began adjacent to the campus and about 3 miles from where President Barack Obama was attending a fundraising luncheon, just before noon.
Police said a shooter was in custody and the campus was being searched for a possible second shooter.
Jeff Furrows of the Santa Monica Fire Department said there was extensive fire damage inside the nearby home. A woman also was found with a gunshot wound in a car outside the burned home, he said.
Three shooting victims were admitted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, hospital spokesman Mark Wheeler said. Two were in critical condition and one was in serious condition, said.

Good morning.
I don’t know yet... waiting for the press conference this morning.
If his name is Christopher, I doubt it.
That’s the best post I’ve read in a while. Can I steal some of your material? :-D
That is pretty spot-on. I’ll join you in giving 101stAirborneVet a high-5.
“Santa Monica shooting suspect, possible motive identified, officials say”

SNIPPET: “The gunman accused of killing four people in a Santa Monica shooting rampage Friday was apparently angry over his parents’ divorce and had some mental health issues in the past, a law enforcement source told The Times.
The suspect was identified by five law enforcement sources in Washington and Los Angeles as John Zawahri, in his 20s.”
That is incorrect PapaBear.
It is John Zawahri.
Expect more until that treaty is ratified. Why just burn one building. There are little Reichstags everywhere.
Of Lebanese descent. Earlier MSM reports said that six were killed. So-called journalism is funny these days.
Thank you. Chris is his dead brother. Early reports got them mixed up.

“Santa Monica shooting rampage: Suspect identified as John Zawahri”
Saturday, June 08, 2013
By Amy Powell, Leanne Suter, Melissa MacBride and Carlos Granda
SNIPPET: “SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC) — The suspected Santa Monica shootings gunman has been identified as 23-year-old John Zawahri, Eyewitness News confirmed Saturday.”
SNIPPET: “At a Saturday afternoon news conference, police laid out tables of evidence. According to police, Zawahri dropped a duffle bag while walking through campus. Some of the bag’s contents included an upper receiver to a .223-caliber rifle, an older model .44-caliber handgun and at least 20 loaded magazines. The suspect was also wearing protective knee pads and a utility vest that was not bullet resistant.”
SNIPPET: “”My heart breaks for her, because I knew the kid wasn’t right. You know how you can just sense there’s something not quite right about somebody? Something not quite right,” said neighbor Beverly Meadows, who added that the suspect had recently shaved his head, grew a beard and was possibly planning to move overseas to live with other family members.”
SNIPPET: “Zawahri was shot and killed by police officers inside the library.”
...didn’t California just pass a bunch of gun laws so stuff like this would never happen?
Earlier MSM reports said that six were killed. So-called journalism is funny these days.

We saw it in Newtown. We saw in Moore. We saw in on 9/11. And all points in between.
24 hours news cycle. Everyone in a hurry to report the latest news first. It is the quantity the newsies want, because they can always issue disclaimers.
On the up side, though, we get some really fun conspiracy threads going as a result of inconsistent reporting.
Another mental case that was kept on the shelf to be used for anti-gun propaganda.
John Zawahiri, a Lebanese “White” man.
“Got all our students, pulled them away from the door. We huddled up in a corner so if anyone looked in they wouldn’t see us,” Professor Robert Flores said.
Cowering in a corner......
This country has come a long way.....
That’s why these “Gun-free zones” don’t work. I keep telling anti-second-amendment douches that criminals don’t pay attention to the law, it’s obvious. I think they need to stop with the “Gun-free zones are so safe” BS and face reality.
