"At this stage we do have four dead including the gunman," Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said, adding that the suspected gunman was a man in his 20s.

He said there were shootings at six locations, starting at around 5:20 am (local time). At least three of the shootings occurred near the 5 and 55 freeways.
