A man killed five people during a shooting rampage in Bakersfield, California before ultimately turning the weapon on himself once he was cornered by a deputy, a report said.

The rampage started when the suspect and his wife entered a trucking business near a gun shop at around 8 pm and opened fire on a man inside — killing him, according to The Bakersfield Californian.

The gunman then trained the weapon on his wife, fatally shooting her inside the business as well.

The husband then shot and killed a third victim, a man who confronted him at the scene, before fleeing and driving to a house nearby.

Once at the home, the suspect gunned down two men inside before hijacking a vehicle.

A woman and child were inside the vehicle at the time but managed to escape without injury.

As the gunman was driving away he was spotted by a deputy and suddenly pulled into a parking lot, where he shot himself in the chest and died.

The identities of the suspect and the victims were not released Wednesday night.
