Seven adults were shot, one woman fatally, when a gunman who witnesses said never left his poolside chair opened fire on a birthday party at an University City apartment complex Sunday.
Police shot and killed the suspect, later identified as 49-year-old Peter Selis, a resident at the upscale La Jolla Crossroads complex on Judicial Drive near the Westfield UTC Shopping Center.
A 2015 bankruptcy filing stated that Selis, a father and a car mechanic at a Ford dealership in San Diego, faced crushing debt.
Authorities said the shooter, armed with a semi-automatic pistol, was white and all the victims were people of color four black women, two black men and one Latino man. The woman killed was not identified.
Partygoer Drew Phillips said shortly before the 6 p.m. shooting, his friend who was celebrating his birthday had approached Selis and offered him food and drink. The man declined, and continued to sit quietly yards away.
Six or seven minutes later its just pow, pow, pow, pow out of nowhere, Phillips said. ...There was no indication that he was there to do evil.
Two young girls, ages 3 and 8, were with a grandmother and a nanny when the shooting started. Their grandfather, Shahrayar Jeff, said they escaped unscathed.
He said the older child described seeing Selis, in a baseball cap and glasses, relaxing and shooting people.
Two UC San Diego students who were in a nearby hot tub were too scared to bolt, but then slowly made their way to a wall. One of the students, 20-year-old Kaela Wong, said she heard Selis threaten women trying to help a victim.
You can either leave or you can stay here and die, Wong said she heard Selis say.
