Seal Beach, CA –A gunman opened fire on a busy beauty salon, killing six people and wounding three others on Wednesday afternoon.  Salon Meritage, located in the 500 block of Pacific Coast Highway, was owned by Randy Fannin, who died in the shooting. He has owned the salon for about 10 years.  Police responded to the 911 call of shots fired, and saw the suspect leaving the business as they arrived.  A white male was arrested about a half mile away.  Officers searched the suspect’s vehicle and found what they described as multiple weapons in his car.  Police do not yet know why the gunman started shooting, but witnesses who know some of the employees said the suspect was involved in a domestic dispute with one of the stylists.  Authorities have not released the names of any of the dead or the three wounded, but the three victims are being treated in the trauma unit of Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
