The shooting began around 4:45 a.m. in the community of Ladera Ranch, where a woman was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds, said Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
The suspect, described only as a man in his 20s, fled the scene in a sport-utility vehicle into Tustin, just north of the Ladera Ranch area, where he shot two more people in the process of stealing a Dodge truck. Those victims were receiving treatment at a local hospital.
The suspect then drove onto the 55 Freeway, where he either stopped on the highway to shoot at passing cars, or shot from a moving vehicle. He hit at least three vehicles, the police said, causing minor injuries to at least one person.
After exiting the freeway in nearby Santa Ana because he was low on gas, he got out of the truck and approached the driver of a B.M.W. that was stopped at a stop sign, carrying what witnesses said appeared to be a shotgun, according to Santa Ana police. The suspect ordered the driver out of the B.M.W., walked him over to the curb with his hands behind his head and executed him, the police said.
He then drove the B.M.W. back to Tustin, where he carjacked another vehicle at around 5:25 a.m., killing another victim in the process, Tustin police officials said. From there, he fled into the City of Orange, where police identified his vehicle. As law enforcement closed in, the suspect stopped, stepped out of the car and shot himself.

Police in Upstate New York's Herkimer County are looking for a suspect wanted for killing four people and wounding two others in a shooting spree in the villages of Mohawk and Herkimer.
The villages are about 65 miles east of Syracuse, on opposite sides of the Mohawk River in a region known as the Mohawk Valley.
The Herkimer Telegram reported that firefighters were battling a blaze at a building in Mohawk where the suspect apparently lived. He was described as a slender white male, age 50 to 60, sporting a white beard and wearing a flannel shirt.
He is believed to have abandoned his maroon vehicle, possibly a Jeep, that was spotted at the scene of the two shootings.
The suspect was believed to be armed with a long gun used in the killings, the Telegram reported.
The Observer-Dispatch (uticaod.com) reported that SWAT teams and a police helicopter converged on a jewelry store on Main Street in Herkimer where the suspect may have taken refuge, but later reported that the gunman may have fled on foot.
The suspect apparently set fire to his residential building in Mohawk, then went to John's Barber Shop shop in the same village where he killed two people and wounded two.

WARSAW — A 60-year-old man went on a shooting rampage in a village near Belgrade, Serbia, early Tuesday, killing 13 people, including his son, his mother and a 2-year-old child, before attempting suicide, Serbian police officials and news reports said.
Gun control in Serbia sounds comical.
