Source: AP

A woman who was critically wounded in the Santa Monica shooting rampage died Sunday, bringing the total number of victims killed by the gunman to five.

Marcela Franco, 26, died of her injuries at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, according to Santa Monica College spokeswoman Tricia Ramos.

Franco had been a passenger in a Ford Explorer driven by her father, campus employee Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, who also was killed in the attack.

Investigators trying to determine why the gunman planned the shooting spree were focusing on a deadly act of domestic violence that touched off the mayhem.

the family was concerned about his fascination with guns and wondered about where the money came from...duh, let's sit back and wait for this trouble son to shoot the parent he despised.

there is just something so unfair about this. a father and daughter going to get things for summer classes, kids just going to first grade etc. and suddenly they are no longer alive.

people are dying when they shouldn't be. accidents, disease etc are horrible enough.

the son/brother of the father and daughter who lost their lives had died a few years ago in a car accident.
