Arrested near Los Angeles, the man allegedly shot dead his four children and their grandmother before fleeing
According to information from local police on Monday, November 29, a man suspected of killing his four children and their grandmother was arrested near Los Angeles. Germarcus David, the father, has been taken into custody on bail set at two million dollars, according to the county sheriff’s services.
Her four children, the oldest of whom was only 12, and their grandmother were found dead at the family home in Lancaster, north of Los Angeles. The five victims bore bullet holes on the upper part of the body, said the police, warned of the tragedy on Sunday evening.
Weapon license
The man arrested, aged 29, is a security guard whose license to carry a weapon has been canceled, according to the “Los Angeles Times” newspaper.
Homicide by firearms is a recurring scourge in the United States, where it is widespread and easily accessible due in part to provisions in the Constitution protecting the right of American citizens to carry a weapon.
