People jumped out of windows and hid in bathrooms to escape the shooting in Thousand Oaks, California. Officials say the gunman is dead. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office is still trying to make sense of last night's shooting at Borderline Bar & Grill, as they cope with the death of a longtime sheriff's sergeant, Capt. Garo Kuredjian said.

It's unclear if all the victims inside the bar have been identified or if all of their families have been notified, he said.

“It’s absolutely horrific," he told CNN affiliate KABC. "If you can imagine young people out on a Wednesday night, having a good time, at a bar they’ve probably been to many times. Thousand Oaks, one of the safest cities in the United States, and something like this happens. We’re trying to make sense out of the senseless, it’s absolutely tragic.”

The shooting was reported at 2:19 a.m. ET inside the bar in Thousand Oaks, Kuredjian said.

Minutes later, Ventura County Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus entered the bar and was immediately met by gunfire, he said,
