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.

Unreal. She is heartbroken to losing her brother-in-law to "gun violence" when, in fact, it was he who killed the other two. Shouldn't that really be called "Eric violence"? If he didn't have a gun he would have found some other way.
“but completely heartbroken about losing my dear sister Sandy, nephew Michael and brother-in-law Eric to gun violence today”
What a moron.
You lost those people to a psycho dad.
Exactly. I have always said Leftists don’t want people to have guns because they think everyone is as unstable as they are.
She did, Sandy was the wife.
Sigh. It’s those “violent” guns again...
Oh okay, I was thinking Sandy was the daughter, but her name is Rachel.
Was going to quote Archie Bunker. “Would you feel any better, Little Girl, if he got pushed out a window?”
It's idolitry, ascribing evil to things not people.
My first thought too.
Interesting. Especially when they call so many of us evil for our values and beliefs. Even horrendous physically attacks. Self projection I suppose.
“ She got several severe injuries, but killed the bear with her ball point pen.”
Link please.
” losing my dear sister Sandy, nephew Michael and brother-in-law Eric to gun violence today.”
Oboy, what an idiot.
So if he’ only used a knife, or tied them up and burned the house down, used poison, or maybe a hammer to their skulls, it would be SO much better.
Typical blame the tool not the nut!
Yeah, gun violence strikes. Like it’s a meningitis outbreak. It just comes in and takes ppl out. Everyone’s a victim. It’s thinking like this that is the problem.
I did the same thing initially, figured it out, but with some WTH’s along the way. :^)
The gun that did it used to have lunch with the planes that brought down the WTC.
Since there’s no party affiliation given, we can be sure of two things — one, that the shooter was a Demwit, and two, that he’ll be described as a white privileged homophobic right-winger.
Exactly.
This happened in Northridge , just a few streets East of where I went to Jr. High School. (Now called a middle school). Ayn Rand had her home in the area but it has long since been torn down.
Conspiracy!
Unbelievable. The mentality of some people. Her b-in-l apparently did nothing wrong.
These people are wealthy, so why do they need financial help? Was he doing something shady?
