A lone gunman is being hunted in at least three out of six pre-dawn robberies at six 7-Eleven shops in Southern California that left two people dead and three hurt, authorities said.

The spree of violence happened within about five hours on Monday July 11 – or 7/11 – the day when the national 7-Eleven brand celebrates its anniversary.
