Seal Beach shooting: Suspect had been ordered not to carry guns

Scott Dekraai

Seal Beach shooting suspect Scott Dekraai was prohibited from having firearms and was ordered to move out of his stepfather’s house in 2007 after the relative complained that he had been verbally and physically attacked, according to court records.

Dekraai, who is being held on suspicion of killing eight people and wounding a ninth when he stormed into a Seal Beach hair salon, was also ordered to stay at least 100 yards from his stepfather, LeRoy J. Hinmon, according to documents for the restraining order.

The order followed an Oct. 19, 2007, incident in which Hinmon said his stepson attacked him in his Seal Beach home while Dekraai's 4-year-old son and two others were present, the records said.

Hinmon said he was left with cuts, bruises and other wounds on his face and arms and that police had to be  summoned.

The restraining order also barred Dekraai from having firearms and required him to complete a 52-week batterer intervention program. It expired the next year.
