(KABC) &#8212; <\/span>A Santa Monica College employee shot and critically wounded a coworker Monday and then died of a self-inflicted gunshot a day later when authorities caught up to him in Hawthorne, officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Tuesday night, authorities identified the deceased suspect as Davon Durell Dean, 39, an SMC employee with past arrests &#8211; but not convictions &#8211; for violent incidents<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The initial shooting incident happened just before 10 p.m. Monday at the college&#8217;s Center for Media and Design on Stewart Street, according to the school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The victim, a custodial operations manager whose name has not been released, was hospitalized in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">College police chief Johnnie Adams said the shooting was a &#8220;horrific act of workplace violence&#8221; and not a random act.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div class=\"WrapperInlineVideo\">\n<div class=\"VideoCaption nMMea bNYiy Mjgpa dGwha DDmxa jgKNG RGHCC aBIU eEzcu lZur \" data-testid=\"prism-caption\">\n<p><span class=\"hsDdd OOSI GpQCA lZur VlFaz \" data-testid=\"prism-truncate\"><span><span class=\"gtOSm FbbUW tUtYa vOCwz EQwFq yCufu eEak Qmvg nyTIa SRXVc vzLa jgBfc WXDas CiUCW kqbG zrdEG txGfn ygKVe BbezD UOtxr CVfpq xijV soGRS XgdC sEIlf daWqJ \">All seven campuses of Santa Monica College were closed Tuesday after a shooting left a school employee in critical condition.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Santa Monica police detectives were able to identify Dean as the shooter. Tuesday afternoon, Hawthorne police officers spotted Dean&#8217;s vehicle in the area near El Segundo Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">After a short chase, officers used a PIT maneuver to stop his car. A barricade situation ensued and at some point Dean turned his gun on himself, police say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">SWAT officers continued to maintain a cautious position after his weapon discharged. They remained in the SWAT armored vehicle and extended a long tool to break the window and remove the weapon before attempting to confirm the suspect was deceased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Santa Monica police say Dean was arrested for attempted murder in 2011 and assault with a deadly weapon, a firearm, in 2019. However, he only has convictions for misdemeanor property crimes on his record, police say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">All seven Santa Monica College campuses were closed Tuesday as a precaution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;To help our community through this very difficult time, SMC will be providing&#8230;counseling and mental\/emotional support,&#8221; SMC Superintendent\/President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery said in a message to the school community. &#8220;At this heartbreaking time, I urge us all to come together in kindness and compassion as we navigate this unspeakable tragedy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Local residents said while they were disturbed by the incident, they did not necessarily feel a sense of heightened danger in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN\">&#8220;What happened here obviously is a tragedy, wherever it happens,&#8221; said one local resident. &#8220;But living in the area and being a neighbor and walking through this neighborhood regularly, I always feel safe. I never feel unsafe. I don&#8217;t think this will change that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024 KABC Television, LLC.
