Three people are dead in a shooting spree in
downtown Fresno, California today. The suspect was wanted in connection to the
fatal shooting of security guard Carl Williams at the Motel 6 in Fresno.
Muhammad allegedly also tried to shoot a second security guard but was
out of bullets, police say.
Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, shouted "Allahu Akbar" as police tackled him to the ground, Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.
The victims appeared to be not random, Dyer said.
Shot
Spotter detected the first gunshots around 10:45 a.m. Muhammad shot
into a PG&E vehicle killing the passenger. The driver sped away and
drove to Fresno Police headquarters.
Muhammad
continued walking and opened fire at a local resident but missed.
Shortly after, he encountered another resident and shot and killed that
person.
He then continued to the area of Catholic Charities where he shot and killed a person in the parking lot.
Chief Dyer said Muhammad's Facebook account
indicated that he "does not like white people", he also expressed anti-government sentiments. All victims of Tuesday's
shooting were white, as well as the 4th person he shot at.
