From the Associated Press:

ANAHEIM-- The suspect in the slayings of two gas company workers has
died several days after being found in his car with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Anaheim police Sgt. Tim Schmidt said Sunday 36-year-old Phong Thuc Tran died Saturday night at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center.
Police believe Tran shot Charles Santisteban, a supervisor at Southern California Gas Co., in his Pomona driveway last week. The other victim, Hung Duy Dao, a field technician, was found dead in his car.
Tran resigned from the utility in 2007. He was found in his SUV outside a police station last Thursday.
Schmidt said Tran was angry at the victims for unknown reasons.
