Police did issue an evacuation call for the community college and are currently still searching for a possible second suspect.
The shooting took place near where President Obama was making an appearance at a fundraiser. The school, however, is several miles from where President Obama was appearing at a fundraiser and apparently not related to his visit.
The Secret Service revealed that they were aware of the shooting but that it did not pose a threat to the President and that it would not alter his schedule.
Police told KNX-AM radio that witnesses reported to the California Highway Patrol that a gunman with one weapon began shooting randomly at traffic just before noon local time across from the two-year college. It is not yet clear what prompted the gunfire.
