SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Police in Southern California who are investigating why a heavily armed gunman plotted a rampage that killed four people and wounded several others are focused on how the violence began.
What started as domestic violence Friday led to a chaotic street shooting rampage and ended less than 15 minutes later in the Santa Monica College library where the gunman was killed by police.
An official briefed on the probe says investigators are looking at family connections to find a motive because the killer's father and brother were the first victims.
