SEAL BEACH, California – A gunman opened fire at a busy hair salon where his former wife reportedly worked in the southern California coastal town of Seal Beach on Wednesday, killing eight people and critically wounding another.
The suspect, who was not immediately identified, fled the scene in a vehicle and was arrested moments later about half a mile away, Sgt Steve Bowles of Seal Beach police told reporters.
Former salon employee Lidia Sosa, who went to the crime scene when she heard the news, told reporters the gunman had shot and killed his ex-wife, with whom he was embroiled in a custody dispute, during the massacre. – (Reuters)
