The motto appears to be – have gun, will shoot – catch me if you can.
In one such incident, the Los Angeles police have detained a "person of interest" in connection with a spate of shootings that killed three people and left four others injured in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles earlier in the day.
The suspect was taken into custody by SWAT officers following a standoff that occurred when the man barricaded himself inside a house in Sylmar for about an hour.
Witnesses had reported seeing two men in a tan- or gold-colored SUV at two of the three crime scenes in the area.
As per the police, the victims appeared to have been be targeted at random and, probably the attacker was the same – because, the same type of weapon was used in the morning attacks and the suspect shot at victims from inside a car.
The first attack was on a family of five riding in a car to attend church – they were attacked at 5.50 am in San Fernando. The family had pulled over after noticing the suspect driving erratically when they were shot.
A woman in her 20s was killed, her mother and father were critically wounded and two children sustained minor injuries from either bullet fragments or broken glass.
The next victim was at about 6:35 a.m. – he was fatally shot at a Sylmar park as he was looking for recyclables. The shooting took place as he was walking toward the suspect vehicle in the parking lot.
15 minutes later and less than 5 miles away, a woman in her late 50s who was sitting in a parked car by a church was shot in the head. She has been identified as 59-year-old Gloria Esparanza Tobar.
