An Orange County, Calif. judge suspended court proceedings July 8 against Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez, the man accused of killing four people and injuring another, pending a mental competency evaluation.

The proceedings marked Gonzalez’s first court appearance since a March 31 mass shooting in Orange that ended when he was shot in the head by police. He could be seen in court behind a barrier in a wheelchair, wearing a white helmet.
