Secret Service
SANTA MONICA, CA - JUNE 08: Students leave Santa Monica College, which remains closed for a second day as investigators gather evidence from crime scenes, after picking up personal belongings they had to abandon when a gunman on a mass shooting spree entered the campus, on June 8, 2013 in Santa Monica, California. The shootings occurred in various locations about three miles south of a political fundraiser attended by President Barack Obama but Secret Service officials said the two events were not related and that the president was never in any danger. Four people besides the gunman have died from their wounds and five others wounded, including a woman who is close to death.
