‘Satan was here’: Five killed at homeless camp

cpl_101c1 artsceneLONG BEACH, California (AP) — Family members and friends in search of answers and solace descended Monday on a homeless encampment where five people were shot to death over the weekend, and police hoped an anonymous caller would come forward and say more.

“There is still a demon out there killing innocent people,” said Don Morgan, 58, who said he was friends with the victims but wasn’t homeless himself. “Satan was here that day.”

The bodies of three men and two women were found Sunday in the camp, which is between commercial buildings and the 405 Freeway and appears to be accessible only by way of a drainage channel.
