The suspect was identified as 53-year-old Cedric Anderson of Riverside. He was the estranged husband of Martinez’s teacher, Karen Elaine Smith, 53, who was also killed in the shooting.
Just before 10:30 a.m., Anderson entered the classroom, where there were 15 students, a teacher and two aides, according to San Bernardino Police Department Chief Jarrod Burguan.
Without speaking, Anderson opened fire on Smith with a large-caliber revolver. She died at the scene. Anderson then turned the gun on himself, Burguan said.
Two students who happened to be standing behind Smith were struck by gunfire, Martinez and a 9-year-old boy.

Gun free zone with easy access. What could go wrong? Sad two kids hit, one dead. I have twin 9 year olds and worry at the open access to their gun free school.
Terrible security. I work in an elementary school and my husband, although known to other adults there, would never be allowed to proceed to my classroom to see me; rather he’d have to wait in the office. Maybe things would have gotten ugly there first, but maybe also less chance of endangering kids.
Might be part of the reason states are going bust.
May Jonathan Martinez and Karen Elaine Smith rest in peace.
It’s a special needs classroom. You really do need more adults to deal with them.
This story did hit the NBC Whorled News Report but the coverage didn't go much beyond the facts. And the facts don't support the redneck bible militia meme, so down the memory hole with these murders.
why should a person have to declare such info?...
better solution is to ask the person if they have time for a visit from the other person. don't just allow people to wonder in because they look familiar....infact, maybe visits should only happen in a specific area near the front office and away from classrooms...
maybe the kids were disabled in some way...it takes extra people to help them along...
It was a special needs classroom.
Special Eds?
Poor kid. RIP.
Media already saying he loved guns, church and was against illegals, then shoots a special needs latino...
This one looks bad, even if black and Californian.
His fb shows him posting anti-illegals stuff and love of guns.
So why did he have guns posted if he was a felon? What the heck is going on?
