Shooting at US hair salon leaves 8 dead—ToI—14.10.11


Seal Beach (California): Every hair-dressing station was full at Salon Meritage when a gunman burst through the door and began shooting, sending customers diving for cover. The shooter then stepped outside, shot a man sitting in a truck in the parking lot and sped off. 
    By the time it was all over on Wednesday, eight people were dead and another in critical condition in one of the deadliest shooting rampages in Orange County. “There was like a ‘pop pop’ ... and my receptionist screamed out, ‘He just shot that man’ and we all went into the bathroom and called 911,” said Kimberly Criswell, who owns a salon two doors away. 
    Police arrested 42-year-old Scott Dekraai but did not release a motive. Friends of the salon owner and other employees said Dekraai was the ex-husband of stylist Michelle Dekraai, who worked at the salon as a licensed cosmetologist. AP
