HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA : 2 killed and 3 injured in July Fourth attack in California beach city on Friday, 5th July 2024
Huntington Beach, California
Two people were killed and three others injured in an attack during a neighborhood Fourth of July gathering in a Southern California beach city, police said Friday.
The county coroner removed two bodies Friday morning from the crime scene, which encompassed a grassy median in a residential neighborhood lined with palm trees. The violence was just a few blocks from the beach in a community known as “Surf City USA."
A 26-year-old Huntington Beach resident was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, said city spokeswoman Jennifer Carey. Officials released no further details on the attack Thursday night other than to say it was an “assault with a deadly weapon." It began less than two hours after the city's fireworks display ended roughly a mile (1.6 kilometers) away.
