A man is in custody after a stabbing and robbery spree that left four people dead and two injured across several crime scenes in Southern California.
Police told US media the violence appeared to be random, with the only known motives for the two-hour rampage as "robbery, hate, homicide".
....
The stabbing spree took place across more than six locations over approximately two hours in Garden Grove and neighbouring Santa Ana, about 35 miles (56km) southeast of Los Angeles.
....
The attacks began at around 16:00 PST (00:00 BST), when local police received a call from two people who reported their apartment robbed, US media report.
Another call came in shortly after, reporting a burglary at a bakery in Garden Grove.
From the bakery, police said, the suspect returned to his apartment complex nearby, where he fatally stabbed two people after an alleged altercation.
Around 18:00 PST, the suspect allegedly drove to a gas station where he attacked a man pumping gas, nearly severing the victim's nose off his face.
Detectives tracked the suspect's car to the parking lot of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Santa Ana. The man came out of the store shortly after, carrying a large knife and a gun he had taken from the 7-Eleven security guard.
Upon his arrest, police were informed the man allegedly had also killed a male employee of a nearby Subway restaurant.
He also allegedly robbed an insurance business, where an employee was stabbed several times, as well as a check-cashing business.
....
Police said the crimes have "nothing to do" with race, noting that the suspect and most of the victims are Hispanic.
