4 dead, 2 wounded in Southern California s
OS ANGELES (AP) — A man who was “full of anger†went on a two-hour stabbing and robbery rampage in Southern California, killing four people and wounding two others, authorities said Wednesday.
The 33-year-old Garden Grove man was taken into custody after he came out of a 7-Eleven in Santa Ana, southeast of Los Angeles, and dropped a knife along with a handgun that he had taken from a guard, police said.
The violence appeared to be random and the only known motives seem to be “robbery, hate, homicide,†Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney said at a newsconference.
“We know this guy was full of anger and he harmed a lot of people tonight,†he said.
The suspect and all the victims were Hispanic, he added.
The attacks on more than a half-dozen places took place over about two hours in Garden Grove and neighboring Santa Ana.
