Police said they believe Selis and at least one of the party-goers lived at the apartment complex.
San Diego (CNN) - A gunman opened fire at a pool party in San Diego on Sunday evening, killing a woman and injuring six other people, police chief Shelley Zimmerman said.
The gunman, Peter Selis, 49, shot all seven at a pool area at the La Jolla Crossroads apartments around 6 p.m. before police officers fatally shot him, Zimmerman said. Some of the injured were in critical condition late Sunday night, she said.
The upscale complex is located near the University of California San Diego campus and the shooting rang out in what is normally a tranquil location.
"I thought to myself, who would be lighting fireworks," Zhuang said, adding,"it was always peaceful here before this happened."
The shooting victims were identified only as four black women, two black men and a Hispanic man. Their names were not immediately released.
It's not clear whether Selis, who was a white man, knew any of the victims, police said. Detectives have not determined the motive for the shooting.

Police said they believe Selis and at least one of the party-goers lived at the apartment complex.
"This was a truly horrific and disturbing act. We pray for the victims and thank our first responders. Our city rejects this senseless violence," San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said at a news conference.
