on Friday, CNN reported.

The incident occurred in Santa Monica College, California, that ended Friday with the gunman clad in tactical gear, dead in a college library and a "person of interest" in custody, authorities said.

"We are not yet convinced whether the suspect who was killed operated alone", Santa Monica police chief Jacqueline Seabrooks told reporters.

The gunman has not been identified by authorities, Seabrooks said.
