A preliminary investigation indicates the suspect who shot the others died in the city of Orange, said Tustin police Lt. Paul Garaven.
The case involved an attempted carjacking, he said.
“There are multiple (crime) scenes throughout Tustin and the surrounding areas,” he said. Orange County sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said there were a total of six shooting scenes.
Four people were shot in Tustin, Garaven said.
The shootings occurred about 5:20 a.m., he said.
At least two people were transported to nearby hospitals, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
A woman was shot and killed in Ladera Ranch, and the suspect, described as a man in his 20s, was “not a threat to the community,” Amormino said.
The other shootings:
- A person was fatally shot at the McFadden offramp from the southbound Costa Mesa (55) Freeway.
- A shooting on Edinger Avenue east of the 55 Freeway left one person dead and another person wounded.
- A shooting at Red Hill Avenue and the Santa Ana (5) Freeway left a person wounded.

Another 2nd Amendment gun owner exercising his right to own, shoot, and kill innocents. If he didn’t own the gun, when how about the owner who failed to properly safeguard the weapon. I like my guns, haven’t gone on a killing spree and I know exactly where they all are all of the time.
