2. Update: apparently a former employee of the gaming commission; hostages freed.

The sheriff's department said the alleged shooter initially took several hostages but quickly let them go.
According to Barona spokeswoman Kelly Spears, Roberts (the shooter) is a former gaming commission employee, and not a gaming commissioner. Roberts was fired in November for unspecified reasons.
