The shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday on the second floor of an office for Unified Homes, a manufactured housing business. Police allege that Gonzalez used bike cables to lock the gates to the complex where the office building was located.

Police were fired upon when they arrived at the scene, Orange Police Lt. Jennifer Amat said.

As of Friday, Gonzalez was in critical but stable condition. Amat said it was not clear whether police wounded him or whether his wound was self-inflicted, according to

.

“It is a horrible, horrible tragedy,” Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer said, according to the Times. “hat Mr. Gonzalez made a decision to use deadly force to deal with issues he was dealing with in his life. So he will suffer and face the consequences.”

A semiautomatic handgun was recovered at the scene, as was a backpack that contained pepper spray, handcuffs and ammunition, “which we believe belonged to the suspect,” Amat said.

When news of the shootings emerged, so did a vicious debate over race:

Tim Smith, who lives near the office complex where the shooting took place, said he heard multiple shots, according to the Times.

He said when he cracked a door he heard a police officer saying, “Don’t move or I will shoot you.”

He then watched the police SWAT team move in.

“The key part about that is that the next sound I heard after those horrible gunshots was an officer trying to protect me,” he said. “It’s scary in the moment with no knowledge, but when you do figure it out and you do get composure, it makes you grateful.”

The motive for the shootings was unclear as of Friday.

“Never in our wildest dreams did we think this could happen,” said Alec Torres, a partner at Unified Homes, who was not at the office during the attack. “We were shocked to find out it was him. There was never any bad blood. He was just a very quiet person.”
