Police: Santa Monica gunman acted alone, killing 4 In a series of violent confrontations

In a series of violent confrontations Friday, a gunman with a semiautomatic rifle killed four people and wounded at least five others before being shot dead by police inside the Santa Monica College library, police said.
Santa Monica Police Sgt. Richard Lewis said in a news briefing late Friday that a lone gunman carried out the shootings, which resulted in nine crime scenes that spanned several blocks.
"It's a horrific event everyone wishes didn't happen," Lewis told the press.
Lewis also confirmed a "person of interest," who was taken into custody earlier in the day, "has been released and is not a suspect." READ MORE
