Members of the media and entertainment industry are speaking out about the shooting rampage in Santa Monica Friday in which four victims were killed.
Police say a gunman killed his father and brother in their home before taking the carnage out to the street, where he hijacked a car and fired at police and bystanders. The gunman eventually made his way to Santa Monica College where he was killed by police in the school’s library.
