A spokeswoman for the Orange Police, Jennifer Amat, explained to local media that the shooting occurred around 5.30 p.m. local time and the alleged attacker opened fire on the arrival of the agents.
Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., said she was monitoring developments.
“I’m deeply saddened by reports of a mass shooting in Orange County, and I’m continuing to keep victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as we continue to learn more,” she said in a statement.
“My team and I will continue to monitor the situation closely.”
At the moment, more details, such as the reasons or the circumstances of the event, are unknown.
This Los Angeles shooting comes just a week after a gunman murdered 10 people in a Colorado supermarket in the largest such incident in two years.
A week earlier, another gunman attacked three Asian massage parlors in the Atlanta area and killed 8 people, six of them women.
