California officials say a man under a restraining order and not supposed to have a gun fatally shot his three daughters, a chaperone and himself during a supervised visit with the girls
Ana DeJesus, right, is comforted by her daughter, Lizbeth DeJesus after placing a teddy bear and flowers on a memorial at The Church in Sacramento, Calif., on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Authorities say a man shot and killed his three daughters, their chaperone and himself during a supervised visit with the girls at the church on Monday. SACRAMENTO, Calif.
The girls — ages 9, 10 and 13 — attended schools in the Natomas Unified School District in northwestern Sacramento. Counselors and chaplains were at the schools Tuesday to provide support. Ortega said there were multiple shots, then a pause before a final shot. Minutes later the area was swarming with police, she said.
Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said the shooter was estranged from his daughters' mother, who had a restraining order against him. Detectives are treating the shooting as a domestic violence incident. Sometimes, a victim will request that a pastor or grandparent be the chaperone in their home or church, she said. Other victims seek professional supervision with a trained mediator in a safe location close to law enforcement, but that option can be costly, Bilyeu said.“Generally a lot of people think a church is a safe place,” she said. But “there’s no metal detectors in a church.”
