UPDATE: Worst Mass Shooting In Orange County History

Wednesday, October 12, 2011
A shooting at a Seal Beach, California hair salon has claimed the lives of eight victims and critically injured one more. When the Seal Beach police first arrived on the scene, six were confirmed dead at the scene. Three people were transported to Long Beach Memorial Hospital, but two of them died of their wounds.

In a press conference, Sgt. Steve Bowles of the Seal Beach Police Department confirmed that a suspect was taken into police custody less than half a mile away from Salon Meritage, the scene of the crime. The suspect is described as a white male and was cooperative when police detained him, although Bowles could not confirm his name or residence. Local television feeds showed police putting a man in a police car, shirt open in the front and a calm look on his face.
