A man accused of assaulting five people in a bizarre, violent rampage in Long Beach was shot and wounded by police Tuesday, officials said.
The incident was reported just before noon in the 4600 block of East 2nd Street near Livingston Park in an upscale community of the city, according to Long Beach Police.
The suspect, a 31-year-old homeless man, allegedly punched a man and a woman in the 200 block of Park Avenue. The man walked into the park where he struck a father holding his 2-year-old child who fell during the attack, Cmdr. Michael Pennino explained during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect then allegedly stabbed a man with a screwdriver in front of a local business.

The House Rules Committee advanced the debt ceiling bill to the floor Tuesday night, clearing a key hurdle as the legislation faces opposition from both Democrats and Republicans.
The panel voted 7-6 to adopt the rule — which governs debate on the legislation — with Republican Reps. Chip Roy (Texas) and Ralph Norman (S.C.) joining all Democrats in opposing the rule.
Adoption of the rule allows the debt limit bill to advance to the floor for debate and a vote on Wednesday, just five days before the June 5 deadline. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said the U.S. could default on its debts by that day if the borrowing limit is not raised.

Nine juvenile suspects were arrested and charged Tuesday in connection with a fight recorded on video showing three Marines being beaten by a crowd at the San Clemente Pier.
All suspects were only identified as under 18 years old, according to San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan. Their identities are being withheld due to their juvenile status.
Five suspects were charged with assault with a deadly weapon and are in custody at juvenile hall. The four others were charged with misdemeanor assault and battery but are not in custody.
The video was taken on May 26 and shows several Marines walking away from a crowd of what appears to be primarily teenagers and young adults when someone seems to throw something at one of the Marines.

KC-46 aircraft have more cargo capability, can carry patients for aeromedical evacuation and is more fuel efficient compared to the KC-135. But the main appeal is that it’s a newer aircraft with more technological advancements.
