A shooting incident in a bar popular among motorcyclists in Orange County, California left at least five people dead and six others wounded. 

The news, as reported by CBS Los Angeles, indicated that a retired law enforcement officer was responsible for opening fire inside the establishment.

Orange County's Police Chief, through a post on the social media platform "X", previously known as Twitter, acknowledged the existence of multiple casualties. 

However, specifics were not detailed in the post, and subsequent requests for comments from Reuters went unanswered.

The incident took place at the "Cox's Corner" bar located in the Trabuco Canyon area. Law enforcement presence was reportedly significant at the scene. 

KCEL News mentioned in their report that sources confirmed that shots were fired back at the assailant, but his current condition remains unknown.

The Governor's office of California stated that they are closely monitoring the situation and developments from the tragic event in Orange County.
