LOS ANGELES - A longtime assistant Los Angeles city attorney killed himself last week after gunning down his wife and 19-year-old son, police officials said.
Authorities were alerted to the killings when Eric Lertzman's daughter, 25, fled to a neighbor's house after escaping through a bathroom window, according to an LAPD news release. The dead include Lertzman, 60; his wife, Sandra Lertzman, also 60; and their 19-year-old son Michael Lertzman.
The daughter's identity was not revealed by police, but Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer identified her as Rachel Lertzman.
Sandy Lertzman's sister, Cindy Stern, wrote on Facebook of the shock of the tragedy.
"You never think this is going to happen to your immediate family," Stern wrote. "Still in shock, but completely heartbroken about losing my dear sister Sandy, nephew Michael and brother-in-law Eric to gun violence today. Grateful beyond words that Rachel survived."
A GoFundMe page set up to help Rachel Lertzman in the wake of her family's deaths had raised more than $122,000 as of Monday morning.

“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
He probably would have passed every background check in the repertoire.
Guns don't kill people, city attorneys can kill people.
Right?

Am I wrong?
Sandy Lertzman's sister, Cindy Stern, wrote on Facebook... "...completely heartbroken about losing my dear sister Sandy, nephew Michael and brother-in-law Eric to gun violence today."
Heartbroken, but still gets the spin in there. The shooter, or rather 'alleged shooter', was active in environmental causes I believe.
The sister is a moron. She lost her family due to gun violence? Really? Actually your brother in law killed your family, not gun violence, the violence was due to your brother in law alone.
Gun violence? Poor thing so distraught she thinks the gun did it.
It isn’t the weapon that is lethal, it’s the person wielding the weapon.
Four or five years back, I marveled at an account of a young jogger who was attacked by a grizly bear. She got several severe injuries, but killed the bear with her ball point pen.
The family are flaming liberals..the wife was very pro choice and anti gun
What psychiatric drugs was he on?
This is why the Liberals want to ban guns. Liberals can’t be trusted around guns, so they think nobody else can be trusted.
“...The family are flaming liberals..the wife was very pro choice and anti gun...”
That, alone, should have red flagged em.
She’d be happier if the guy drowned her sister?
But she didn’t lose her sister Sandy.
What a friggin’ monster.
Exactly.
Would she then call it water violence?
I just don’t understand how people can be so blind to facts.
Take all guns from Democrats. In case after case, the mass murderer is a Democrat. Is it because they are likely on drugs for mental illness?
Liberals are pathetic Lemmings. They obey their overlords like dutifully slaves. Pushing a false narrative about guns is much more important to her than speaking the truth about her sister’s death.
If the gun caused the violence, then lock up the gun and let the person go free.
