SANTA MONICA, California— Authorities say a gunman carrying an assault-style rifle killed at least six people in Santa Monica before police killed him during a gunfight in a college library.

Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks told reporters Friday that the rampage began at a house in the coastal city.

She says it continued as the man, dressed all in black, made his way to Santa Monica College.

Seabrooks says he killed two people in the house, two more people as he moved several blocks toward the campus and then two more on campus.

She says he was then shot to death by police in the campus library.
