Five people were shot near Santa Monica College on Friday.

Witnesses said a man shot and killed his father and another male victim at the family’s home on the 2500 block of Kansas St., then shot a woman outside the house, and carjacked a separate vehicle and headed toward the campus.

The gunman then got out of the car and, with a semi-automatic weapon, began firing at passing vehicles, including a city bus.

The college was quickly put on lockdown, and a suspect was found in the school’s library and taken into custody, the L.A. Times reported. After hearing reports of additional shots being fired after the initial suspect was arrested caused police to continue a search for a possible second gunman.

Students at the college were in the midst of taking their final exams.

A young mother who was riding on the bus was grazed in the temple by one of the gunman’s bullets, but was alert and responsive as she was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance. Two of the victims are said to be in critical condition, and another was listed in serious condition.
