4 killed, including child, in mass shooting at Orange office complex<\/h1>\n

Four people, including a child, were killed Wednesday evening and a fifth person was injured in a mass shooting at an Orange office complex.<\/p>\n

It marks the third mass shooting in the United States in two weeks, coming after incidents at three Atlanta spas that killed eight people, including six Asian women, and at a Boulder, Colo., supermarket that killed 10.<\/p>\n

Few details were immediately available about the victims or a potential motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n

Lt. Jennifer Amat, a spokeswoman for the Orange Police Department, said officers received a call about 5:30 p.m. of shots fired and responded to a business at 202 W. Lincoln Ave. in Orange. The beige, two-story office complex at the address contains a number of small businesses.<\/p>\n

The officers encountered gunfire when they arrived and opened fire, Amat said. The shooter was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound and was listed in critical condition Wednesday night. It was unclear if the wound was self-inflicted or if he was struck by police gunfire, Amat said.<\/p>\n

There is no current threat to the public, she added. A firearm was recovered at the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The other wounded person, a woman, was listed in critical condition Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Amat said the city hasn\u2019t \u201chad a situation like this since the 1997 Caltrans shooting.\u201d In that incident,\u00a0a former state employee opened fire with an assault rifle<\/a> at a state maintenance yard, killing four people before dying in a shootout with the police.<\/p>\n

Orange, Amat said, \u201cis usually quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The complex is home to about a dozen businesses, including an insurance office, a marriage therapist, a speech and language pathologist, a phone repair shop and several property management companies.<\/p>\n

Amat declined to identify the specific business where the gunman first opened fire, but she said the incident began inside one of the complex\u2019s suites before moving to a courtyard area. Investigators will spend the coming days trying to determine the exact sequence of events, she said.<\/p>\n

Uvaldo Madrigal was in his office at Lincoln Body and Paint, his auto shop that sits next to the shooting site, when he heard popping sounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sounded very low, so I didn\u2019t think they were gunshots,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Then Madrigal heard about 10 shots, followed by silence. He looked outside and saw about five police cars in the middle of Lincoln Avenue and officers with their guns drawn.<\/p>\n

He rushed to the back of his shop and told an employee to get inside. Several minutes later, the police told him and his employee that they needed to leave the area; as they did, Madrigal saw two people on stretchers being loaded into an ambulance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what condition they were in,\u201d he said. \u201cNothing like this has ever happened around here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judging by the muffled sound of the shots, Madrigal thought the rounds were being fired indoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally when you hear gunshots out in the open they\u2019re louder,\u201d he said. \u201cThe gunshots just sounded lower, they sounded different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathan Zachary, 18, and his father had been cooking fried chicken for dinner when, while scrolling through Instagram, he saw news of the shooting. The two went outside to see what was going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d Zachary said, describing the neighborhood as \u201ca safe, really safe area.\u201d<\/p>\n

He and his father stood curbside in flannel pajamas, trying to track the movement of the many police officers milling about the scene.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHard to sleep,\u201d Zachary said, \u201cunless you know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camilo Akly, 28, couldn\u2019t pick up his younger brother, who was hanging out with a buddy in a home facing the crime scene.<\/p>\n

So on Wednesday evening, after walking several blocks to reach his sibling, then seeing \u201cone by one by one of the police cars pulling up, then hearing the helicopter, then watching firefighters rushing in,\u201d he paused to try and make sense of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think that nothing could be going on during your evening, and all of a sudden, it changes really fast,\u201d he said. \u201cSo much to be careful of these days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other neighbors spilled onto the sidewalk, filming the commotion with their cellphones and posting their recordings on Facebook, speculating about the shooter\u2019s motives and huddling near news cameras to hear the latest updates.<\/p>\n

Police plan a press conference for 10 a.m.Thursday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine) wrote on Twitter: \u201cI\u2019m deeply saddened by reports of a mass shooting in Orange County, and I\u2019m continuing to keep victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as we continue to learn more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porter\u2019s district includes parts of Orange.<\/p>\n

Although the COVID-19 pandemic coincided with a decline in mass shootings, which dropped to the lowest levels in nearly a decade, a recent series of such attacks has left many Americans reeling and seeking answers from lawmakers.<\/p>\n

Robert Aaron Long, 21, faces murder charges in attacks on three spas in the Atlanta area March 16. Six of the victims were women of Asian descent, spurring concerns that the gunman was motivated by anti-Asian hatred. The women\u2019s deaths came amid spikes in anti-Asian hate crimes and other incidents of harassment, which have been rising in the last year.<\/p>\n

In the Boulder shooting, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, was taken into custody and faces 10 counts of murder. The victims included a 51-year-old police officer, who was one of the first to respond to the scene. The nine other victims ranged in age from 20 to 65.<\/p>\n
