Child Among 4 Dead At Office Park Shooting In Orange

 

ORANGE, CA —A gunman killed four people, including a child at an office park in Orange Wednesday evening. The shooter was wounded in a firefight with police and taken into custody.

One surviving victim, a woman, was hospitalized in critical condition as was the suspect, according to Orange Police Department Lt. Jen Amat. Both were rushed to a trauma center. Police could not confirm if the shooter was wounded in the exchange of gunfire with police or if he shot himself.

The shooting occurred on multiple levels of an office complex in the 200 block of West Lincoln Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. Officers from multiple agencies responded to reports of gunfire and arrived as shots were still ringing out. They found multiple bodies and one surviving victim who had been wounded, according to Lt. Jennifer Amat with the Orange Police Department.

Amat confirmed to reporters that the suspect exchanged gunfire with responding officers. There were no reports of officer injuries in the exchange.
