Murder charges filed in salon massacre

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Southern California prosecutors have charged a 41-year-old man with eight counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the Seal Beach hair salon massacre.

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas announced the charges today against Scott Dekraii at a press conference in Santa Ana.

Dekraii is accused of opening fire Wednesday inside a hair salon where his ex-wife worked. They were involved in a bitter legal battle over custody of their young son.

Dekraii was arrested a short distance from the salon.
