Hawaiian Gardens, CA:
A Hawaiian Gardens neighborhood is the scene of a horrific crime this morning, that has left two dead and three others in critical condition.
Here are the latest details.
At around 4 a.m. today, a man apparently went on a shooting "rampage" on the 21000 Block of Devlin Avenue. The cross street is Civic Center Drive.
The man killed his fiancee and her teenage brother before a sheriff's deputy wounded the suspect, bringing an end to the violence, sheriff's officials are reporting. Five people were shot altogether. A sheriff's deputy on routine patrol heard gunshots from an automatic rifle and went to investigate. When the Deputy arrived at the Devlin Avenue scene, he confronted the gunman as he exited the home in question.
When the suspect pointed his weapon at the deputy, the deputy fired two shots, striking the suspect, according to Sheriff Commander Don Waldie.
Waldie is telling local news channels that as many as ten family members were inside the house when the suspect stormed in and "just started shooting." He shot his fiance's mother and father downstairs and then went upstairs where he shot and killed his fiance' and her 14-year-old brother. The mother and father were taken to a hospital for treatment. The mother is in critical condition, he said. The father's condition was not immediately known.
The scene was so chaotic that family members were jumping out of upstairs windows to escape.
The suspect also poured gasoline around the house in an apparent attempt to burn the house down, he said.
Investigators say the suspect was upset over his relationship, and was angry at the woman's family. As soon as details are updated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, I will put them up here on the Blog.
