talking about the investigation and what happened today. >> then a fourth activation at 149 north fulton. these are within about a block and a half of each other. and a total of 16 rounds were fired according to our gunshot detection system. and all of those occurred in approximately a minute to a minute and a half. and as a result what we know is we had three people that were shot and killed and one person shot at in less than a two-minute time frame in the city of fresno. immediate lly upon arriving, officer frank he immediately surrendered and defense on to the ground. and gave up to officer borrego. as the officer was taking him into custody, he made some spontaneous statements, those statements were i did it, i shot them, he identified themselves to officer borrego as kori mohammad and said you guys are looking for me. the fact that kori mohammad was a wanted suspect in a murder that occurred thursday evening at a motel 6 at black stone in ash land. in that case, suspect mohammad shot and killed a 25-year-old security guard by the name of carl williams and he also attempted to shoot a second security guard but ran out of ammunition prior to being able to do so. muhammed also stated that he had thrown the gun that he had utilized over by a pile of clothing and we at this point have not been able to locate that firearm, we believe someone may have picked it up in the area and left. and our detectives are tracking that down today. also after he was placed in the patrol car, he yelled out akbar as he was seated in the back of the patrol car, which obviously prompted some concerns as to what his motive may have been. he also learned during the course of the investigation that he may have made that same statement after he shot the pg&e employee in nes. i do want to make this statement early on, we do not believe based on the information that we have today that this is a terrorist-related crime. based on the information that we have been provided in our investigation has shown is that this is solely based on race. and it has nothing to do with terrorism, in spite of the statements to be made. he did clarify that the reason he had made that statement, in the event that anything did happen to him, that he was in fact pledging hiss allegiance to god for protection. we also know that kori -- his previous name was kori mcccc nalcdidn't -- mcdonald. it's now kori muhammed. he saw a media release and as a result he made a decision to himself that he was not going to go to jail for shooting a security guard, that he was going to kill as many people as he could today and that's what he set out to do. kori muhammed did shave his braids from his head two days ago and also had shaved his face and was a much different appearance than he was on the night of the april 13th, and would probably not have been recognizable based on the photo we had sent out. we have a total of more than 20 witnesses that we have interviewed today. and there are additional individuals that we will be attempting to locate, people that did not necessarily see the shooting, but may have heard something. and again, we are in the process of attempting to locate them. we also learned that the reason that suspect kori muhammed was in the area in which he was, and prior to the shootings, he knew that there were several abandoned houses in that area, and that he was hoping to stay at one of the locations. again, i'm not certain as to whether or not he did stay at those locations, but that's the information that he did have. kori ali muhammed is 39 years of age, he has been arrested, he is being charged with four counts of murder by our district attorney and at least two additional cases where there is an assault with a deadly weapon. a couple of things that i did not state, number one, was when officer borrego had taken muhammed out of the vehicle and had searched him and put him back in the car. and immediately upon seeing me, he made a statement, i'm sorry, chief and then was placed back in the car, so we have no doubt he had his mental faculties about him at that point in time. and there were three females that were contacted by kori muhammed, these women were parked in their car on fulton, just south of this car, a mother and a daughter when they heard the gun fire in the area, they got back in the car very quickly and were attempting to drive away, had difficulty starting the car, when kori muhammed approached on the passenger side, pointed the gun directly at them and for whatever reason did not fire, and they drove away from the location. they did hear gun fire afterwards, which may have been the shooting that occurred directly after. so what we do know at this point in time, based on our investigation, that approximately 10:45 a.m. this morning, kori muhammed, approached two individuals that were in a pg&e truck, the driver, a hispanic male, the passenger was a white male, he fired what appears to be four rounds into that vehicle, striking the passenger and ultimately that passenger was drive n to headquarters where a ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital. he then immediately went on to mildreda. a male came out of the house, he fired at him and missed. and then he went on to encountered another victim, fired several rounds at him, striking him, and then the fourth victim, he encountered at catholic charities, 149 north fulton. and again, along the way, he encountered the two females. so as a result of this incident today -- >> you are listening to the chief of the fresno police department, jerry dyer describing the events today that left three people shot to death at random, and the suspect, kori ali muhammed under arrest for those crimes. >> >>. the biggest social media network in the world wants to make your world more social. >> and facebook plans to do it by augmenting reality, we're going to explain how at 6:30. they're building and rebuilding an apartment complex that should have been open a year ago, find out why there are even more delays. and after a dozen public meetings, find out why tonight is the one that a proposed ordinance would eliminate no cause evictions. david lui is covering the meeting at san jose city hall. >> this is a showdown months in the making, tennants and their landlords makes their last minute pitch to approve the proposal. over 20 public hearings have already been held since no. tennants took to the streets holding rallies and a hunger strike. several land lords told me they believe councilmembers have already made up their minds. >> the just cause eviction requirement would be the worst thing you could do to 90% of the good tennants. it's my only way of acting as an arbitrator between a good ten napt or a bad tennant. >> reporter: a just cause provision would set specific reasons for evictions, that, tenants fear might throw them out into a and higher represent. >> if full just cause is implemented, good tennants will not have to fear eviction the way the i and the other tennants in my building did. >> reporter: passion runs high on both sides. the council has three options, to accept it, to reject it or to send it out for more amendments and more study. in san jose, david lui, abc7 news. b.a.r.t.'s 10-mile extension to antioch is set to open next may. today a director's committee talked
