CANOGA PARK, CA — A shooting rampage that terrorized the San Fernando Valley Thursday ended after an intense manhunt that limited the death toll to four. Another two people were wounded before police could shop the hours-long shooting spree.

On high tactical alert, Los Angeles police Thursday afternoon arrested the man suspected of shooting six people in the San Fernando Valley Thursday morning. Gerry Dean Zaragoza, whom police warned the community was armed and dangerous, was arrested at the intersection of Canoga Avenue and Gault Street near Canoga Park. #WATCH: Police take 26-year-old murder suspect Gerry Zaragoza into custody in Canoga Park.

— Maddie Spear (@MaddieCBSLA) July 25, 2019 Zaragoza, 26, is suspected of shooting his parents and brother in an apartment in Canoga Park before shooting two more people at a Shell gas station in the 6700 block of Vineland Avenue in North Hollywood. As the manhunt continued Thursday afternoon, police say he shot and killed another man inside an Orange Line bus at Victory and Woodley in Lake Balboa at approximately 1 p.m. Detectives believe the final killing was random.

Zaragoza's father Carlos, 50 and his 33-year-old brother died at the scene, but his mother is expected to recover from a bullet wound to the arm. The names of the dead were not immediately released, although Zaragoza's father was identified by his boss, Michael Ramia.

"He told me (Gerry Zaragoza) wasviolent in the house. He was very violent," Ramia told reporters outside the Canoga Park apartment. "And I told Carlos, I said, `Carlos, get rid of him, you know? Just take him to rehab.' "Today was his day off," Ramia said. "... He took the day off to get his eyes checked. He was in my office yesterday, and he (was) supposed to come to work tomorrow."

A woman believed to be an ex-girlfriend of Zaragoza died following the gas station shooting and another man shot at the scene is now fighting for his life, according to authorities.

The first shooting occurred about 2 a.m. at an apartment in the 21000 block of Roscoe Boulevard, the LAPD reported. Paramedics pronounced the two men dead at the scene and took a wounded woman -- Zaragoza's mother -- to a hospital in stable condition, the LAPD said.
