An attorney for a retired high-ranking Orange County prosecutor said Friday Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer's handling of an internal probe has given the accused killer in last year's mass shooting in Orange an opportunity to have his case dismissed.
An Orange County Superior Court judge ruled that the defendant is too incapacitated by a gunshot wound to the head to assist in his criminal proceedings, so his case has been placed on hold indefinitely.

Survivor of Orange mass shooting leaves hospital
ORANGE, Calif. - A month after a mass shooting in the City of Orange left four dead, the sole survivor has finally left the hospital.
Blanca Tamayo was shot in the head when the suspect, 44-year-old Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez, opened fire at Unified Homes, a real estate company.
Tamayo’s son calls her survival a miracle. It’s been a long five weeks for her recovery, we’re just super excited to have her home, said her son Louis Tovar.
She was wheeled out of UCI Medical Center Wednesday with two bouquets in her lap, while wearing a protective helmet and a t-shirt with a photo of her son Matthew, who was killed in the shooting.
