California college shooting

[Duchess]

Coroner's officials this morning identified one of the four victims shot and killed during a rampage Friday in Santa Monica as a 68-year-old West Los Angeles man.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's Department said Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, was in a sport-utility vehicle when he was shot by the gunman, who later died during a gun battle with law enforcement at Santa Monica College.

The other three victims and the gunman have not been identified.

Five additional victims, all women, who were wounded in the attacks, had either been treated and released from hospitals, or were still hospitalized.

Three of them had been treated and released from UCLA Santa Monica either Friday afternoon or evening. A woman underwent surgery for a bullet wound at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Friday evening and remained in critical condition. Another woman was listed in fair condition. A third woman who was taken to the Westwood hospital died after arrival.

The shooter, described as a 25 to 30-year-old man wearing all black and a bulletproof vest, allegedly shot his brother and father at 2036 Yorkshire Ave. shortly before noon, officials said. The victims were found in the burning home, about a mile from the college campus.

Listings show the owner of the home is Samir Zawahri, 55, but coroner's officials did not confirm whether that is one of the victims' identities.
