"A
woman is dead and seven people injured after a gunman opened fire at a
birthday pool party at a San Diego apartment complex Sunday, police
said.
The alleged gunman, identified as Peter Selis, 49, was shot and killed by police, San Diego police said.
Numerous calls were made to 911
around 6 p.m. local time to report the shooting at the gated pool area
of the La Jolla Crossroads apartment complex, police said.
Selis, who was allegedly armed with a high-caliber handgun, lived in the apartment complex, police said.
Police said eight victims, all adults, were hospitalized and one later died.
It is not clear if the suspect knew the victims, police said.
Authorities do not know the motive and are interviewing witnesses, police said.
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer called it a "horrific and disturbing act.""
Thanks Mayor Obvious.
When I was younger, I'd love to go hang at pool parties. As I'm older, that fiesta life is gone. And I'm bitter. So I hate to hear people having fun. But understand why.
This was...I'm not sure if I'd presume it to be an act of racism, since the shooter was Hispanic or White and the people he shot were Black. I think it has more to do with...righteousness
When my buddies and I go to a pool where I live, a lady usually comes out to harass us. She later discovers I pay to live there and leaves us alone. We actually have become friends since then. But she's still a lonely bitter woman. I can understand if say...a party that gets out of hand or plays music not to her tastes where she would escalate the confrontation.
Am I blaming the victims in this case? A little, yes. There is so little respect for people nowadays, that I can imagine how this got so bad so quick. And we're a society now that allows people to do what they feel like (A "Simpon's" episode addressed this, and the town went apeshit). Personally, no one learns from this. The narrative is that a guy was a racist who wanted to kill Black folk. Not that, he was sick and tired of hearing music being blasted and when he politely asked, they gave him shit.
