THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) --- Authorities said at least 11 people were shot late Wednesday when a suspect opened fire in a Southern California bar filled with college students.

Ventura County Sheriff Sgt. Eric Buschow later said the gunman was dead.

Authorities say a responding deputy was among the injured. The deputy was shot and taken to a hospital. No other information on the victims was immediately known.

Ventura County Sheriff's Office Capt. Garo Kuredjian said the first reports of shots fired came around 11:20 p.m. at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, which is about 40 miles west of Los Angeles.

The bar's website says its hosts "College Country Night" every Wednesday. Police said hundreds were inside when the shooting occurred.
