Three people were killed on Tuesday in a shooting in Fresno, California, with the gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he was arrested, police have said.

Kori Ali Muhammad, the 39-year-old suspect, told police he hated white people.

He is also believed to have shot a security guard last week outside a motel in the city. The guard died in hospital.

All three victims in Tuesday's killings were white. Jerry Dyer, the police chief, said they were shot minutes apart in close proximity in the downtown area of Fresno.
