The shooter is alleged to be a retired officer from the Ventura Police Department. Reporting from CBS Los Angeles says the shooter was targeting his estranged wife. The gunman’s identity and motive remain to be confirmed by officials.

During a media conference three hours after the shooting, multiple agencies gathered to brief the public. According to the briefing, calls to the OC Sheriff’s office reporting gunfire started just after 7 p.m. Minutes after the first calls were received, officers were on scene exchanging gunfire with the gunman. The gunman was killed in the exchange and multiple deputies were injured. At least one weapon was recovered after the incident.

Of the six injured victims transported from the scene to receive treatment, five had suffered gunshot wounds. Two of the six were in critical condition while four remained stable. The injured individuals are being treated at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, according to CBS Los Angeles.

This is a developing situation and we will update as more information becomes available.

The latest motorcycle news and custom bikes.
Our weekly selection of motorcycle news and customs is bookended by two Royal Enfields; a fully-faired Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 from Malaysia, and the brand’s own Shotgun 650 cruiser. Wedged between them are a pair of tasteful Suzuki GS550 restomods and a peak at the new Triumph TF 250-X motocrosser.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 by Rollin Machines The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 (known as the INT650 in the States) works so well as a fully-faired café racer, that we’re surprised Enfield hasn’t made one themselves. And if you don’t believe us, this fully-faired Interceptor 650 from Bobby Fuego, founder of Rollin Machines in Malaysia, should convince you.

Bobby was in the market for a new ride, and happens to have a strong connection to Royal Enfield Malaysia—so picking the Interceptor 650 for the project was a no-brainer.

The latest motorcycle news, customs and classics
The first two bikes on our list this week prove that there’s customization potential in every motorcycle. A custom Kawasaki ER-6N from Indonesia leads the charge, followed by a custom Buell XB12X Ulysses from Italy. Moto Borgotaro teases us with a stunning 1983 Ducati 600 TT2, and Tamarit proves their mastery of Triumph motorcycles with a menacing Triumph Bobber.

Custom Kawasaki ER-6N by Katros Garage
Kawasaki ER-6N by Katros Garage A quick scroll through Katros Garage’s social media channels yields impressive results. Andi Akbar, the workshop’s founder and proprietor, and his team have been pumping out all manner of custom bikes for some years. From choppers to café racers and everything in between, the Indonesian outfit is one of Southeast Asia’s best.

For this custom Kawasaki ER-6N project, Katros Garage teamed up with Ziko, a fellow Indonesian and professional drift racer. Ziko is partial to a nice motorcycle, but this is his first custom bike, so he wanted it to be as easy to ride as possible. With the brief calling for upright ergonomics, chunky rubber, and futuristic style, the group decided on a street tracker build.

Master Stroke: Purpose Built Moto’s svelte Yamaha XS650 chopper

Yamaha XS650 chopper by Purpose Built Moto
They say that perfect is the enemy of good. But when it comes to high-end custom motorcycles, shouldn’t perfection be the goal? Having never built a custom motorcycle in this style before, that’s the standard that Purpose Built Moto set for themselves with this Yamaha XS650 chopper.

Delays with parts and other builds meant this project took the Australian workshop more than 18 months to complete. The silver lining was that this extensive time frame meant they could pore over every detail in the pursuit of perfection.

“There are plenty of Yamaha XS650 chopper builds out there,” says the workshop’s founder, Tom Gilroy, “but there are very few that look well laid out and finished right. Generally, kit frames make the bike look too long and punch the steering angle out too much. We wanted a fast-handling, performance chopper.”

Purpose Built Moto started by stripping the bike down, lopping the rear half of the frame off, and setting the headstock in a jig with a rake of 27 degrees. Then the real work began.
