The sound of gunshots from the mass shooting echoed through Cook's Corner in Trabuco Canyon at about 7:30pm, after which the six injured people were transported to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds.
According to CBS, the shooting started as a domestic dispute between a retired law enforcement officer and his wife.
