Tustin police officers have reported that up to 3 are dead and more injured after a 25 minute sporadic shooting spree in the Orange County. The authorities responded to six different call outs from various locations in and around Los Angeles.

According to CBS News, the gunman moved from intersection to intersection as part of the shoot-out. Tustin Police Supervisor Dave Kanoti stated the police were investigating if the shootings began after a carjacking just after 5am this morning.

On responding to the callouts, the police found 3 dead and more wounded. It is believed the shooter than drove to the middle of an intersection just outside L.A. and shot himself.

Two victims from Tustin and the shooter have been confirmed dead, the conditions of the wounded victims are unknown. The police have also commented that there may be more victims as shots were fired on the freeway.

Currently, the police are not looking for any other suspects.

The events will surely fuel the discussion of gun control in the U.S. at the moment, something that Obama has firmly placed on his agenda.
