Authorities said Rojas has a long history of violence, which caused the mother of three to file a restraining order against him last year - Rojas was recently arrested for a DUI and for the battery of an officer and nurse, according to CHP, and officials say Rojas was arrested last Tuesday, the same day he hit the police officer in the head. He reportedly assaulted the nurse when she tried to draw blood from him after the arrest.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, the incident is now classified as the 70th mass shooting of 2022 in the United States -- with at least four people injured or killed, not including the shooter.
