Another stupid law in an otherwise very safe city: in Irvine it is illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits. So if I shoot the suspect in self defense I would get arrested as well.

Maybe, but you'd be alive and he'd be dead, and I doubt the Irvine police, even with their silly law, would want the bad publicity of charging someone defending themself against a double murderer.

Do not underestimate the antics of the Irvine PD and City Council. These people drove out the city’s only firing range and tried to ban the sale of ammunition in the city.
