Eight people are dead after a reported gunman opened fire in a bustling Salon Meritage in Seal Beach, Calif. Wednesday -- sparking a furious debate on Twitter about gun control, the state of the country and if alleged shooter Scott Dekraai is a member of the tea party.
PHOTOS: The Most Talked-About TV News Faces
Dekraai, who is in police custody, was reportedly embroiled in a bitter custody dispute and may have been targeting his ex wife, according to the Los Angeles Times. The last surviving victim is reportedly in critical condition.
Orange County officials call it one of the deadliest crimes they have experienced, and the most violent in small Seal Beach.

Kimberly Criswell, who owns a salon two doors down, tells the Associated Press: "There was like a 'pop pop' … and my receptionist screamed out, 'He just shot that man' and we all went into the bathroom and called 911. I'm sure I've lost some friends today."
The Twitter debate includes comments like:
