Six people were killed in southeast Bakersfield on Wednesday evening in what Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood described as a "mass shooting."

That includes five victims and a suspect, the sheriff said.

"This is highly unusual to have six people shot and dead in one incident," Youngblood said. Asked if this was a mass shooting, the sheriff said "absolutely."

Addressing the media around 8 p.m., Youngblood said the suspect went to a trucking business with his wife and confronted another male at the business, which is located on Manwell Boulevard behind Bear Mountain Sports.

The husband shot the man at the trucking company, and then turned and shot his wife. A third male who showed up at the scene was pursued and shot by the husband.

The husband then went to a residence near the corner of Breckenridge Road and Mesquite Lane where he confronted a man and a woman at a residence and shot them. Both died. He then carjacked a vehicle with a woman and child in it. The woman and child escaped.

A deputy found him driving on Edison Highway. The suspect pulled into a lot and when the deputy confronted him, he shot himself in the chest.

Multiple shooting in Maryland reported just now. Sounds like it was a female shooter for a change. Multiple fatalities and injured but now under control. I guess she was shot by a good guy or ran out of bullets...

[harrybarracuda]

A suspect believed to be a woman has shot and killed at least three people in a gun attack at a warehouse complex in the US state of Maryland.
The shooting happened on Thursday morning at a pharmacy distribution centre in Perryman, near Baltimore.
Police confirmed "multiple fatalities" while law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspect in custody was female.
The source added that the motive was still unclear - but there were no indications it was terrorism related.
If it is confirmed that the shooter is female, it would be a rare mass shooting by a woman in the US where more than 95% of such attacks are carried out by men.

How comforting for the families that their love ones were not shot by terrorists...

...when crazies, loons, and general misanthropes have access to firearms, motives don't matter...

They'll be using this one in training soon I fancy.

"These officers went there unknowing the firepower this suspect had. ... They thought it was a random search warrant," Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone said.
He said the suspect was in custody.


Boone said: "Fire was being shot all over. The way the suspect was positioned, his view of fire was several hundred yards. So, he had an advantage."

Authorities in Texas have arrested one man and are searching for his father in the fatal shooting of four people -- a 62-year-old man and his three grandsons in their 20s -- at a toddler's birthday party, Sgt. Nathan Brandley of the Texas Department of Public Safety.Police responded to reports of a shooting at a 1-year-old's birthday party in Taft, north of Corpus Christi, and arrived around 5:15 p.m. Saturday to find four men dead in the back yard of a house, Brandley said.
Witnesses told investigators the shooting began with "an argument over something real small and it escalated real quickly to where guns were involved," Brandley said.
Children attending the party were mostly inside the house, he said. One handgun was involved, he said.
Those killed were identified as Juan Espinoza Sr., 62; and his grandsons Juan Sandoval III, 20; Jeremy Sandoval, 22; and Nicky Sandoval, 25. All were from Taft.
Juan Espinoza Jr., 43, the elder man's son and father to the three younger men, was airlifted to a hospital in Corpus Christi, Brandley said. He is critical condition but is expected to survive, Brandley said.
Brandley identified the suspects as Ronnie Rodriguez Jr., 20, who is in custody, and his father Ronnie Rodriguez Sr., 37, who is still at large.

Let me say this real slowly for all the rednecks and gun nuts.
If the didn't have weapons it would have turned into a punch on.
No one killed just a couple of bruised egos.

If that toddler had a gun it could've prevented this from happening.

It won't work unless you do childlike cartoons as well, and that's only a glimmer of hope.
