Four people were killed and two others wounded when a man “full of anger” attacked people at random in two Southern California cities,  The Associated Press reported.

A 33-year-old man from Garden Grove, Calif. allegedly robbed over a half a dozen businesses and killed two men at the apartment complex where he lived during his two-hour spree, according to the news service. One man died inside of an apartment and another was found wounded on a balcony at the complex and later died in a hospital, it added.

The suspect also killed a security guard in a convenience store in Santa Ana, Calif., where he was arrested, authorities said, adding that the attacker stole a knife and gun from the guard before he was apprehended.

A male employee at a Subway restaurant was also stabbed to death during one of the  robberies, according to the AP.

The accused attacker’s name has not been released by authorities, the news service noted, adding that he and all of the victims were Hispanic.

Exactly!  It seems to me that a responsible person would want their knives registered with the government and fully insured!!
