Drunk Man On Rampage In Birthday Party, Kills Woman
Los Angeles: Two persons, including the gunman, were killed and six others were injured when a drunk man opened fire at a San Diego apartment complex pool in the US.
Accused identified as Peter Selis, 49, shot a woman dead and critically injured several others attending a birthday party at the La Jolla Crossroads apartments swimming pool on Sunday night.
The gunman appeared to be reloading his large-caliber handgun when three officers arrived at the scene and shot him dead. It was unclear how many people were at the pool at the time of the shooting.
It was earlier reported that eight persons were shot but the figure was later revised to seven. The police believe the gunman and at least one of the partygoers lived at the apartment complex.
He ran to his building's clubhouse where he could see the pool. He said the shooter seemed at ease, while bloodied victims struggled. "He had his beer in one hand and his gun in the other," said the witness. The police said it was unclear what motivated the shooting. — IANS.
