Alternative theory: Hispanic gang member kills his cousin as the start of a crime killing spree. He then apparently deliberately crashes into two cars, apparently luring police who respond to the accident in to an accident, shooting two and killing one. His motive is unclear and nothing points to any connection to global terrorism since suspect was in a rage over some issue with his cousin and obviously did not plan to ambush police after crashing into two cars.
