Alleged shooter to plead guilty in California hair salon rampage Monday, Apr 28, 2014 08:20 PM PDT (Reuters) - A former tugboat worker accused of killing his ex-wife and seven others at a California hair salon will change his plea to guilty just weeks before the start of a trial over the largest mass shooting in Orange County history, newspapers reported. A lawyer for Scott Evans Dekraai told the court on Monday that the accused shooter would plead guilty to eight counts of murder with special circumstances and one count of attempted murder, the Los Angeles Times reported. Prosecutors say Dekraai was locked in a bitter child custody battle with his ex-wife Michelle Fournier when he walked into Salon Meritage in Seal Beach in October of 2011 carrying three guns and opened fire. Fournier, 48, was killed, along with salon owner Randy Fannin, 62, and five other people inside the salon. Full Story | Top |
