Police claim the suspect, Mohammed Abdulkareem, fled the scene in a U-Haul truck and was arrested that night in San Diego.

Abdulkareem was armed with a handgun that he had purchased legally two weeks before the shooting, police allege. He has been charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder, police say. It is not immediately clear if he has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
