Six people are dead and three are in critical condition after a shooting Wednesday at a hair salon in the Southern California community of Seal Beach, Police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

A suspect, described as a white male, is in custody, he added.

"He was cooperative. He did not provide any resistance to the officers and he was taken into custody," Bowles said.

In addition to the people who were killed and injured, Bowles said, "there were people in the salon who were not shot."

Authorities are investigating what relationship the gunman had with anyone inside the Salon Meritage.

"We don't know if he's related or what his involvement is with the salon," Bowles said.

"It appears that the salon was busy at the time, and it appears as if almost every hair station was occupied," he added.

The people shot appeared to be seeking shelter or cover during the shooting, Bowles said. Victims were scattered throughout the salon, and one of the injured was a man who was found outside the salon -- the only victim found outdoors -- Bowles said.


The suspect was arrested by police a half mile from the salon as he was driving a vehicle, Bowles said.

4. Damn

A bad hair day doesn't quite describe this one.
Must have been a really nasty divorce. I always wonder why these killers don't just kill themselves.

10. In Mexico it wasn't quite lead

But the major shootout across Saltillo understandably took lead followed by the damage done by Jova.

11. As long as we're all agreed on what is NOT to blame

A society awash in violence, violent imagery, and guns. That's just totally out of bounds as a reason for any of this, so don't even bring it up. Or else.
