A man charged with killing his ex-wife and seven others in a shooting
rampage at a Southern California hair salon was due back in court
Tuesday.
Scott Dekraai was expected to be arraigned in Orange County Superior
Court on eight counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Dekraai put on a bulletproof vest and took three handguns to a nearby
beach where he pondered shooting his former wife Michelle Fournier,
prosecutors said. He then allegedly headed to Seal Beach, bursting into
Salon Meritage where Fournier worked and shot eight people in the head
and chest in a two minute rampage. Only one of the victims survived.
He then walked out and shot to death a man sitting in his car in the parking lot before driving away, prosecutors said.
After his arrest a few blocks away, Dekraai told police that he shot
Fournier, her friend and the salon's owner who headed toward him with
scissors, and a number of others whom he saw as "collateral damage,"
court papers showed.
