5 dead in Bakersfield, California shooting rampage
Five people have been killed in a string of shootings in Bakersfield, California. The suspect also took his own life, according to the authorities, who are still struggling to connect the events.
"This is highly unusual to have six people shot and dead in one incident," Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood told reporters on Wednesday evening.
Asked if this qualified as a mass shooting, Youngblood said “absolutely,” according to The Bakersfield Californian.
