LOS ANGELES (AP) A child was among four people killed Wednesday in a shooting at a Southern California office building that left a fifth victim and the gunman critically wounded, police said.
The violence in the city of Orange southeast of Los Angeles was the nation’s third mass shooting in just over two weeks.
When police arrived at the two-story structure around 5:30 p.m. shots were being fired, Orange Police Lt. Jennifer Amat said. Officers opened fire and the suspect was taken to a hospital, Amat said.
It’s unclear if the suspect suffered a self-inflicted wound or was shot by police. Police provided no details on the victims other than to say one was a child and a woman was critically wounded.

Q:
What is the status of the Redding Area Bus Authority s proposed bus service, with an electric bus, to the Sacramento airport? My wife and I attended the 2019 Energy Fair in Redding that April and a representative from RABA with an electric bus on display was promoting the route.
Hi, this is Michele Chandler.
A: It’s been awhile since plans for the Salmon Runner a Redding-to-Sacramento service on electric buses equipped with comfy seats, wireless internet access and a restroom were unveiled in 2018. After some setbacks, the North State commuter s dream come true is estimated to start in September or October. The actual operator of the proposed service is the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency, by the way.
