The sole survivor out of nine people shot by a gunman at a Seal Beach salon last week was released from the hospital Monday, police spokesman Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

Hattie Stretz, 73, was critically injured when a gunman opened fire at the Salon Meritage last Wednesday.

The woman's daughter, Laura Elody, worked at the salon as a stylist and was one of the eight people killed in what was the deadliest shooting in Orange County history.

The alleged shooter, Scott Evans Dekraai, was arrested, and Orange County Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas has said he will seek the death penalty.

Dekraai was allegedly targeting his ex-wife, who worked at the salon. The two were embroiled in a custody dispute.
