Attacker Kills 4 in Series of Stabbings in California Cities

Associated Press

   GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA - Investigators believe a man who stabbed four
   people to death and wounded two others targeted his victims at random
   during a bloody rampage across two Southern California cities,
   authorities said.
   The 33-year-old man from the city of Garden Grove was "full of anger"
   when he carried out violent attacks and robberies at businesses and
   killed two men at his own apartment complex during the two-hour wave of
   violence Wednesday, police said.

   He was arrested as he walked out of a convenience store in the
   neighboring city Santa Ana, dropping a knife and a gun he had taken
   from a security guard he had just killed.

   Authorities planned to release his name Thursday afternoon.

   The violence appeared to be random and the only known motives seem to
   be "robbery, hate, homicide," Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney told
   reporters.

   "We know this guy was full of anger and he harmed a lot of people
   tonight," Whitney said Wednesday.
