A mass shooting took place on November 7, 2018, in Thousand Oaks, California, United States, at the Borderline Bar and Grill, a country-western bar frequented by college students. Thirteen people were killed, including a police officer and the perpetrator, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Twenty-four persons were injured.

Police identified the perpetrator as 28-year-old Ian David Long, a United States Marine Corps veteran.

Events

At approximately 11:20 p.m. PST (07:20 UTC), a gunman armed with a .45 caliber Glock 21 semi-automatic pistol with a banned extended magazine shot a security guard standing outside the building. He then stepped inside and shot other guards and employees before moving to shoot patrons inside the bar, firing approximately 30 rounds and throwing smoke bombs. Witnesses described the gunman as a heavily tattooed white male dressed entirely in black.

With more than 200 patrons inside, the bar was hosting a regularly scheduled College Country Night event and was particularly popular among students in the area, particularly those from Pepperdine University, California Lutheran University, California State University Channel Islands, and Moorpark College.

Three minutes after receiving the first 911 calls, Ventura County Sheriff Sgt. Ron Helus and a California Highway Patrol officer arrived at the scene. Hearing gunshots coming from the building, Helus ran inside and was immediately shot by the gunman. The Highway Patrol officer dragged Helus to safety outside, but he died from his injuries several hours later. A SWAT team and other supporting police officers arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.

After officers entered the building, the gunman was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an office next to the entryway. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were deployed to further investigate the scene.

Victims

Eight college students died during the attack. The four other victims were a sheriff's sergeant who was the first emergency responder on the scene, a 48-year-old bouncer, a 33-year-old Marine Corps veteran, and a 27-year-old man who had survived the 2017 Las Vegas shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival.

Perpetrator

Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean identified the suspected gunman as United States Marine Corps veteran Ian David Long, age 28, from Newbury Park. His gun was reportedly purchased legally. A neighbor of Long claimed that he suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of his time in the military, and that they had "no idea what he was doing with a gun". Long had been living with his mother at the time.
