A former teacher who made national news nearly two decades ago when she tried to retain her job at a Sacramento-area high school while transitioning from male to female has been charged in an Oakland triple homicide.
Dana Rivers, 61, of San Jose was arrested early Friday in Oakland on suspicion of killing Patricia Wright, 57; Wright’s wife, Charlotte Reed, 56; and the couple’s 19-year-old son, Toto Diambu-Wright. Police said the two women were both stabbed and shot, and the man was stabbed. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Rivers was covered in blood and about to ride away on Reed’s motorcycle when she was arrested. Authorities say the motive might have been a dispute over property. She was booked into Alameda County Jail on three counts of murder, arson and possession of metal knuckles.
Police say Rivers set the house on fire where the three were found in the 9400 block of Dunbar Drive about 12:30 a.m. Friday. Oakland Fire Department firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.

Nope, liberalism is not a mental disease.

HE was a nut case.
And should have never been let near children.
And I am sure the people he killed knew he was a nut case too.
Rivers, who had started hormone therapy, had been accused by the board of trustees of inappropriately discussing her gender transition with students. She later accepted a $150,000 settlement from the district.
By 2001, at 45 years old, Rivers was living in the South Bay and had followed intensive hormonal therapy with complex surgery to create female sex organs. She was working on a book and was an activist for transgender people like herself.
Waiting for Jenner to do something stupider than what he's already done.
Who could have ever seen this coming? s/

“and possession of metal knuckles”
Tough broad.
Good grief. The comments at the site are eye-opening at the delusions of the supporters of transgenderism.
They need a reality check
Some little flower pot on the Bee comments asked, “How do you know she didn’t act in self defense?” Yeah, burning the bodies in their apartment was self defense? Idiot!
Yup. I don't know what is more disturbing, a triple-homicide or that comments posted to the site are worried about how he/she/it is identified. Case in point...
I don't understand why does the Sacramento Bee find it necessary to mention that the suspect is transgender. What does that have to do with anything? Plus it's also inappropriate to mention her former (male) name. This is tabloid sensationalism, not journalism.
Sounds like NORMAL behavior to me.
The poor CA people; the good ones are overwhelmed in avalanche after earthquake.

I think the comments are more disturbing. The perpetrator is arrested and, presumably, will be jailed for the rest of his/her life. People making the comments live on and continue to spread their nonsense far and wide.
The whole case is horrifying.
“You can barely tell it was ever a man, right?”
Let’s see, um, big arms, big shoulders, ugly face.
Your right, aside from that I can barely tell it’s still a man.
