A sheriff’s sergeant and 11 other people were killed in a mass shooting at a bar in Southern California late Wednesday. The gunman, who has not been identified, is dead, authorities said.
Authorities said shots were fired and people hit at the Borderline Bar & Grill, a country-western dance bar in Thousand Oaks, which is about 40 miles west of Los Angeles.
Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Helus, who was shot after he entered the building, died at a hospital early Thursday.
Dean said there were “multiple other victims” with different levels of injury. He said it was not known if there was a terrorism link. Dean did not say how the gunman died.
He described the incident as a "tragic, tragic situation."
The extent of the victims' injuries was not immediately clear. Hundreds of people were inside the bar when the shooting occurred, the Los Angeles Times reported. Law enforcement and emergency crews flooded the scene and police urged the public to avoid the area.
Officers at the scene said the gunman might have used smoke bombs in the incident, but authorities later said they could not confirm that.

Earlier eyewitness accounts suggested that the shooter, who may have dressed all in black with a large trench coat, threw a smoke grenade into the bar before opening fire with a semi-automatic weapon. Shots were still being fired when officers arrived on the scene.
Officers indicated that about 30 shots had been fired and that victims fled from the bar into the surrounding neighborhood.
The Borderline Bar & Grill describes itself on its website as the county's "Largest Country Dance Hall & Live Music Venue" with 2,500 square feet of open dance floor. It was reportedly college night at the venue when the shooting occurred.
