Santa Barbara County sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover tells KEYT-TV two suspects have been detained after the gunfire on last night near a student community next to the University of California-Santa Barbara's campus.
The circumstances surrounding the shootings in the community of Isla Vista were not immediately clear, but the station says police cordoned off four crime scenes, including one near a delicatessen and another near a convenience store.
The shooting prompted officials and UC Santa Barbara to issue alerts urging people to stay indoors.
