"The first thing I thought of was that street gang Al Qaeda is being linked to: Mara Salvatrucha."
Interesting, I hadn't heard of that before.
I wonder what was on the perp's sign?
suspect is 30 y.o. male hispanic with black cap, no tattoos, no earrings.
apparently KNBC 4 is streaming this live on their website
Mara Salvatrucha is not Mexican though. El Salvadorean.
