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.

Red Flag all city attorneys?
ildolatry yikes! what spellig.
the bear with her ball point pen.
And with that she waits til last and then shuts down any bragging competition!
“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.”
Not questioning your integrity, but very interested in learning the details. Must be one helluva a women. Will look to see if I can find something on it. Thanks.
He’s dead, Jim.
Two things strike me as odd with this....1) this woman just lost her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, and her niece barely escaped, and she feels the need to post something about this on Facebook?!?!?!? 2) it was a result of gun violence, not that her brother-in-law snapped or something and killed his own family? (God fest their souls)
Freaking zany....
That’s not gun violence.
Idolatry — I think that’s somehow related to that TV show.
Idolitry must be somethin’ else altogether.
;^) Twas spellig, and the slithy toves...
Wonder if the daughter thinks of it as gun violence or if she understands that it was a murder/suicide situation. Bet that the hubby or wife were playing the field and threatened divorce and the other one did not go along with it.
