US: Four people, including child, killed in shooting at Southern California

A shooting at a Southern California office building on Wednesday killed four people, including a child, and injured a fifth person before police shot the suspect, Report informs, citing RIA Novosti.

Shots were being fired as officers arrived at a two-story office building on Lincoln Avenue in Orange, southeast of Los Angeles, at about 5:30 p.m., Lt. Jennifer Amat said.

“An officer-involved shooting occurred,” and the suspect was taken to a hospital, Amat said, but she didn’t immediately know his condition.

The shooting was on the second floor of the building, Amat said. Media reports said bodies could be seen on the building’s second-floor walkway and in a courtyard.

Amat had no details about the confrontation, what may have sparked the attack, or why a child may have been at the building at 202 W. Lincoln Ave. Signs outside indicated a handful of businesses were located there, including an insurance office, a financial consulting firm, a legal services business, and a phone repair store.
