Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said the gunman was found dead inside the nightclub after the second wave of police arrived after Helus’ death.

Dean said it “appeared” that the gunman’s wound was self-inflicted and that he carried no form of identification.

Long used a.45 caliber handgun for the shooting and drove a car to the Borderline Bar and Grill in this small city, about 40 miles west of Los Angeles.

Long was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Local authorities said it had contact with Long over the years.

He was previously the victim of a battery at a local Thousand Oaks bar.

It was a wednesday night, and teenagers 18 and up were allowed in on those nights.

He was seemingly shooting at random.

The sheriff added that Long used a handgun designed to be fit with ten rounds of ammunition.

The gun was purchased legally.

But the sheriff said the gun had an extended magazine that is illegal in California.

Neighbors called to complain of loud noises earlier this year that sounded like he was tearing down the walls of the house

Long was a former United States Marine and a veteran of the War in Afghanistan. Long served from 2008 to 2013, including the 2010-2011 stint in Afghanistan, and had last served in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. He later suffered from Posttraumatic stress disorder.^[1]
