The man who shot two people at a Yorba Linda park before turning the gun on himself died at a hospital two days later, authorities said this week.
The suspect was identified as 52-year-old Saead Ettefagh of Wildomar.
On Sunday afternoon, May 4, Ettefagh was involved in an altercation with someone at Featherly Regional Park and Canyon RV Park before he returned and tried to hit the person with a pickup truck, Orange County sheriff’s Sgt. Gerard McCann said. The suspect fired several shots, striking two people, before turning the gun on himself. A fourth person struck by Ettefagh’s vehicle sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene.
McCann said Ettefagh and the two shooting victims were acquaintances. A motive for the shooting has not been given.
After shooting himself, Ettefagh was transported to a hospital and placed in an intensive care unit, in custody of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
The cause of death was not provided.
The conditions of the other two people shot were not immediately available on Friday.
The Orange County District Attorney’s office will be investigating the case as an in-custody death.
