ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[HairOfTheDog]

The shooter has been identified as 28-year-old ^ Ian Long.  (Edited with new pic)

He used a Glock .45 with an extended magazine which allowed him to fire more bullets without reloading.  

Long purchased the gun legally.  California law limits magazine/clip capacity to 10 rounds, so the extender was illegal.

Long had been the subject of a disturbance call back in April.  Police called in their crisis and mental health unit who evaluated him at the home and determined that he did not merit being taken into involuntary custody for mental health treatment.

Long was a Marine Corp veteran.

Patrons/victims hid under tables and in bathrooms.  They threw barstools through windows when Long was reloading so some could escape.  

Six off duty officers were in the bar at the time of the shooting and reportedly shielded young patrons.
