Ariz. Police: Gunman Kills 5, Himself in Home Shooting

LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. -- A gunman entered a western Arizona home and killed the mother of his two children and three others before fleeing with the kids to California, where he fatally shot himself, police said Sunday.
In all, six people died. Officers responding to the home said they found four people shot dead and two others wounded. One of the injured died of his wounds early Sunday at a local hospital, police said.
The alleged gunman, identified as 26-year-old Brian Diez, was found dead hours later at a residence in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. The two children -- a 4-year-old and a 13-month-old -- were unharmed at the house with relatives, police said.
Police went to the Lake Havasu City home after dispatchers received an emergency call at 11:57 p.m. Saturday from a woman who said an intruder had shot several people.
Police identified the dead as 23-year-old Deborah Langstaff, 24-year-old Primo Verdone, 42-year-old Russell Nyland and 20-year-old Ashley Nyland. Wounded were 20-year-old Brock Kelson and 44-year-old Deborah Nyland.


At about 3:30 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies were sent to the Rancho Cucamonga home about a reported suicide. Deputies found Diez dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Diez fathered the two children with Deborah Langstaff during a long-term relationship, but the couple had been estranged, Lake Havasu City police said.

Why are people in this world so fucked up? That is really sad.

 

That Circle K shooting last Thursday was literally right across the street from my front door. I was replacing the brakes on my g/f's Infiniti out in the garage when the shots rang out and I saw the dude laying dead back by the dumpster. Awesomeness.

 

It's awful to hear that so many people are affected by the actions of this one individual. If he was contemplating taking his own life, he should have done it from the get go and leave the others alone. I feel for those who survived because they now too will suffer. I hope his kids will be looked after and cared for. Sad story.

I hear ya.
It's like someone jumping off a building, and landing on someone just walking by.

 

Damn...

 

Ya, what a f'in idiot! I hope he burns in hell... I was working when the amber alert went out for the kids and suspect. What a tragedy for the family, thank goodness the kids were unharmed... but I still can't imagine that family's loss at this time.
