An alleged gunman in Pasadena, California, surrendered to police on Saturday after killing three people and injuring two others, firing at officers and barricading himself inside of a home at about 4:20 p.m., according to police. Residents were told at the time to shelter in place.

44-year-old John Izeal Smith, of Pasadena, allegedly shot his victims with a semi-automatic rifle before barricading himself inside the house, according to the police.

“Not only did the suspect shoot and kill an individual inside the home that started this horrific incident, but then he chased two female victims down armed with a semi-automatic rifle,” Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said.

According to NBC Los Angeles, a man in his 70s was found dead inside the home, and a woman was found dead on the sidewalk, one with whom he may have had a landlord-tenant dispute. The third victim, a good Samaritan in his 20s, was shot and killed after running to help the man and woman, police said.

The deceased woman was identified by authorities as 59-year-old Maria Teresa Aguiar.

There were two others, identified as being in their 40s, who were hurt in the incident, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether they were both shot.

According to police, Smith fired at patrol cars, but no officers were injured.

“Apparently the suspect had retreated into the home and started firing from the home at the officer,” Sanchez said.

When Smith called 911, he spent 25 minutes on the phone with a dispatcher who talked him into surrendering to police just before 6 p.m., according to the police.

Smith was arrested and booked in connection with murder, police said.

    More laws would put an end to this! Especially in LA California! They should start executing any one with a gun because they might put an eye out!

    And so another name is enshrined into the pantheon of Republican Party heroes. Has Hannitty set up a fund for him yet?
