A gunman opened fire overnight in a Southern California bar and country music venue. The Ventura County sheriff said the bar was crowded with more than 100 people, many of them college students.
The gunman, identified by police as Ian David Long, 28, killed 12 people, including a sheriff's sergeant who responded to the gunfire. Police later found the shooter dead inside the bar, possibly from a self-inflicted wound.


Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said that Ian David Long, 28, drove to the Borderline Bar & Grill on Wednesday night and opened fire before he entered the nightclub. Long, who had served in the U.S. Marine Corps, used a Glock .45-caliber handgun, Dean said.

He further said that investigators do not know Long's motive for carrying out the shooting. Long shot a security guard outside the bar and continued shooting once he entered the club.
"It appears that he turned to the right and shot several of the other security and employees there and then began opening fire inside the nightclub," Dean said

Police recovered evidence at the scene of the shooting that has led them to a house in Newbury Park, California, which is just outside Thousand Oaks, CBS News has learned. A 28-year-old man lives at the house, and police are trying to determine if that man was the shooter.

Police found the shooter dead inside the Borderline Bar & Grill.
