Among the dead were two women, a man and a 9-year-old boy, she said.

Officers found three other victims elsewhere in the complex, Amat said. One woman was upstairs on an outdoor landing, a man was found inside one office building, and another woman was found in a separate office building.

Orange is located about 30 miles south of Los Angeles. The complex where the shooting occurred houses multiple businesses including Farmer's Insurance, Calco Financial and Miller Counseling.Paul Tovar told CNN affiliate KCBS/KCAL near the scene that he hadn't heard from his brother or his niece, both of whom work in the building.
