His name was not released, but he has a criminal history, police said. [More]Why don't we know his name? The story's been out for 18 hours now.

That's one of the points -- the inability for independents to do some digging on their own -- that I was trying to make in yesterday's AmmoLand piece.

The last time I went to the Civic Center in Santa Ana it had a huge homeless camp all around the Superior Courts building. I sure wouldn't want to get stuck with jury duty and have to navigate around that dirty, smelly mess.

“Authorities said the 33-year-old man accused of stabbing four people to death in a rampage across two Orange County cities is a known gang member with a criminal record dating back to 2004. But detectives said they still were not sure why Zachary Castaneda allegedly went on the attack Wednesday, saying the violence appears to be random and that he didn’t know those he targeted.”
