SAN DIEGO – Seven people were injured and one woman died after a shooting at a University City apartment complex pool Sunday afternoon, police said. The gunman was killed by San Diego police.

Several of the victims were in critical condition at various hospitals around San Diego, according to San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman.  They were undergoing surgery.

The chief said they do not have any information on the shooter and his motive. She only described him as a white man who was wearing brown shorts.

Dozens of San Diego police officers responded to the La Jolla Crossroads Apartments at Judicial Drive and Sydney Court after getting a call at 6:07 p.m. from numerous witnesses of a mass shooting.

A witness told FOX 5 he saw three people had been shot on a sidewalk at the apartment complex. He ran into the clubhouse and looked out the windows.  He saw two other bloody people and one of them was crawling to the other trying to help.

Chief Zimmerman said the police helicopter was the first responder to arrive on the scene. The pilot saw the shooter appear to be reloading his gun at the pool.
