Drive-by shootings in Southern California left seven people dead, said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown.
Brown said the suspected gunman was among seven people killed in the Friday night incident, which occurred in Isla Vista. He said seven others suffered "gunshot wounds or traumatic injuries." One of those victims is said to have "life-threatening injuries. The sheriff reported nine different crime scenes, CNN affiliate KEYT reported Saturday.
The report said "witnesses described seeing a black BMW speeding through the streets, spraying bullets at people and various targets." The suspected gunman traded fire with sheriff's deputies, and the vehicle plowed into a parked car.
The suspected gunman was found in the BMW with a shot to the head, the affiliate said. It wasn't clear whether the death was self-inflicted or whether deputies killed the suspected gunman. A handgun was recovered.
