A gunman entered a western Arizona home and fatally shot five people, including the mother of his two children and her new boyfriend, before fleeing with the kids to Southern California where he killed himself, police said.
The shootings occurred as 23-year-old Deborah Langstaff and friends were celebrating her boyfriend's birthday, Lake Havasu City police Sgt. Joe Harrold said Sunday. In all, six people died.
Police went to the Lake Havasu City home after dispatchers received an emergency call at 11:57 p.m. local time Saturday from a woman who said an intruder had shot several people.
Officers responding to the home said they found the bodies of Langstaff, Primo Verdone — who had just turned 24 — Russell Nyland, 42, and Ashley Nyland, 20.
Two others were wounded, but 20-year-old Brock Kelson died of his injuries early Sunday. Deborah Nyland, 44, was in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital Sunday afternoon, Harrold said.
Lake Havasu City police issued an Amber Alert for the children early Sunday and traced the alleged gunman, 26-year-old Brian Diez, to the Rancho Cucamonga, California, residence of his sister several hours after the shooting.
At about the same time, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies were sent to the Rancho Cucamonga home about a reported suicide. Deputies discovered Diez dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at about 3:30 a.m., authorities said.
