He left the university in his car but shortly thereafter called the police to turn himself in. <br />On October 12, 2011, a man armed with three handguns and wearing body armor entered the Salon Meritage Hair <br />Salon in Seal Beach, where his ex-wife worked.

He entered the crowded restaurant with two handguns, shooting and gravely wounding his wife and <br />killing her dining companion, and continued firing randomly at other restaurant guests. He returned to his car to <br />retrieve a third handgun and a shotgun, continuing to shoot at guests as he passed and killing a bystander who <br />attempted to stop him. Shooting was still occurring when police officers arrived, and the shooter was killed after <br />several minutes of exchanging gunfire with police. A total of three victims were killed (not including the shooter) <br />and six more were wounded in the event. <br />Impacts of Targeted Violence Incidents <br />Any urban city will have violence related to criminal or gang activity or personal disputes occurring on a regular <br />basis. Suburban and rural locations will experience these occasionally as well and these do not constitute major <br />emergencies. In contrast, an ASI or targeted violence incident will have a magnified impact on the jurisdiction, <br />requiring the use of far more resources over a much longer period of time. <br />Targeted violence can generate a large number of critically injured persons requiring significant emergency <br />medical treatment, overwhelming the available emergency medical services, ground and air ambulance services, <br />0 <br />
