The suspect in the shooting, Scott Evans Dekraai of Huntington Beach, is in custody and is the ex-husband of one of the victims, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Ms. Daschbach Fast’s mother, who lives in Atherton, acknowledged in a brief telephone interview that her daughter was in fact one of the victims.
