It happened at the Korean Christian centre in Temecula, about 85 miles south east of Los Angeles in southern California.

Riverside County Sheriff's spokesman Dennis Guttierez said the gunman is believed to be one of the people taken to hospital.

But according to reports in the Los Angeles Times, authorities are searching for a 70-year-old man believed to be the gunman.

Mr Guttierez said at least two of the victims were critically injured.
