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.

BINGO, Post of the day!!!!
Mine was just a case of not going back and checking for myself because I was lazy, LOL. 8>)
Ive seen their facebook page..they were Dems to the core
Californian, Democrat, lawyer — doing something shady? Oh pshaw.
Sounds like he was closeted flaming homosexual.
Underscoring yet again that Democrats cannot be trusted with guns.
The other morons are those that donated to their GoFundMe page. Surely they had some assets that the surviving daughter could have liquidated.
OMG what a brilliant point!
The pages, pictures, and accounts will be going down the memory hole before long. That’s how FB rolls.
Hey, that’s my wheelhouse! ;^)
Doesn’t seem right, that’s a liberal badge of honor now. If memory is correct then maybe crooked environmental deals, yknow, dumping toxins somewhere and stealing the fund from the recycle/disposal program.
Hardly seems a reason to shoot your own family though...
Given his position and the location...probably more like some kind of Illegal alien(human trafficking?)/gang/drug conspiracy.
The Demagogic Party put the ‘con’ in ‘conspiracy’.
Maybe he just mistook his wife for a hat.
She didn’t lose her brother in law Eric to gun violence. He’s the guy who did it. Amazing spin.
Never let a family crisis go to waste.
Would you be LESS heartbroken had he stabbed them to death? How about smothered them in their sleep? Threw them in front of an oncoming bus? Tossed them off the balcony of a high-rise building?
YEESH!
Interesting that the sister-in-law thinks that the cause of their deaths was “gun violence”, and not the crazy lunatic brother-in-law.
100:1 he was a democrat.
In LA?
What else?
““ She got several severe injuries, but killed the bear with her ball point pen.”
Link please.”
This was 4 or 5 years back and I wish I could find the link again. All I really remember was that she stabbed it in the eye repeatedly until the bear died.
Maybe we can make being a lawyer part of the “red flag” law.
