Police arrested 42-year-old Scott Evans Dekraai about a half-mile from the scene. Acquaintances say he'd been involved in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, who worked at the salon.
His ex-wife's co-workers told CBS station KCBS that she was afraid of him. They also said that he threatened her with guns in the past and she had a restraining order against him.
Reportedly, the two were in the midst of a bitter custody fight over the couple's son Nicolas. She wanted to spend more time with her son.
Police are searching Dekraai's Huntington Beach home that he shares with his third wife, Mindy, reports the station.
It is unclear if his second wife, Michelle, is among the dead or the lone survivor.
