Six people were dead and three were in critical condition after a shooting Wednesday at a hair salon in the Southern California community of Seal Beach, Police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

A suspect, described as a white male, is in custody, he added.

“He was cooperative. He did not provide any resistance to the officers and he was taken into custody,” Bowles said.

The Salon Meritage, on the 500 block of Pacific Coast Highway, is within blocks of the Pacific Ocean, and its Facebook page describes the business as a place for “90 minute facial, ocean breezes, true bliss!”
