This is impossible. It has to be fake news. You see, California has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, and we all know that when tragedy strikes, those laws are passed so that tragedy absolutely cannot strike again, and that laws are absolute and work every time. "Assault weapons" are illegal in California, banned. So are magazines which hold over 10 rounds. Because those laws are in place, an occurrence such as the one reported absolutely cannot have taken place.
This is utterly impossible.
I do hope that the gentleman pulling the trigger was not using an assault rifle or "high capacity" magazine while shooting these people, as either of those things would make his actions in prosecuting a massacre against folk illegal. He could be subject to heavy fines and/or imprisonment for using such items to kill folk.
Wait! Isn't killing folks illegal in most jurisdictions already? Maybe, just maybe, folks who kill folks are already intending to break a law? IF they are, what is to prevent them from breaking a few more laws along the way? Maybe legislators haven't thought this through logically.
I know! let's pass ANOTHER law! That'll keep it from happening again, fer shure!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
