Police seek motive in California killing spree

LOS ANGELES - Police on Saturday were investigating what prompted a man dressed in black to embark on a string of shootings in the beach community of Santa Monica, killing four people before police gunned him down in a community college library.
Five other people were wounded in the shooting rampage, which unfolded just a few miles from where President Barack Obama was speaking at a political fundraiser elsewhere in Santa Monica, west of Los Angeles.
The bloodshed did not appear to be related to Obama's visit to Santa Monica and the Secret Service called it a "local police matter."
