A ding-dong ditch prank turned deadly after a California man rammed into a car filled with six teen boys, killing three of them, according to authorities.
The boys, who did not know 42-year-old Anurag Chandra, rang his doorbell and ran off, officials said, according to reports.
California Highway Patrol officials said Chandra then intentionally rammed his car into a Prius with the six teens inside as they were leaving the neighborhood. The Prius then struck a tree, Buzzfeed News reported.
Drake Ruiz, Daniel Hawkins and Jacob Ivascu, all 16 years old, died in the crash.
boys killed "Jacob is the eldest of five kids," his father Alex Ivascu told KCAL-TV. "And he was the third mother/father figure. So we're all devastated."
Sergio Campusano, Joshua Hawkins, Daniel’s younger brother, and Joshua Ivascu, Jacob’s younger brother, all survived the crash, according to Buzzfeed News.
Chandra has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder.
A Prius as a get away vehicle??
Just imagine what this guy would have done if they had left a flaming bag of dog crap on his porch?
Measured response.
Well it is California.
They won’t do that again.
Probably a good idea. You can drive as crazy as you want, and cut off anyone, and no one will think it’s strange.
Ok but they ought to reduce the sentence by about 36 minutes given the ding dong ditching.
He should be out on “no cash bail” in 3...2...1...
“Jacob is the eldest of five kids,” his father Alex Ivascu told KCAL-TV. “And he was the third mother/father figure.”

Huh???
Too bad about the boys, though. Typical stupid kids stunts, but not worth killing them over.
An extreme overreaction to teenagers horsing around, but at 16, they should have known better. It’s not even cute when a 6 year old does it.
Those kids had the audacity to RING HIS DOORBELL?? Well, you have to be totally nuts to want to kill somebody for something like that.
Ding dong diytching is annoying, but not worth murder. I remember my brother did it once, and a neighbor chased him and his friends about a quarter block. I didn’t chase anyone, when someone did it to me.
Do stupid things . . . win stupid prizes. If they weren’t all punks looking to cause trouble they would all still be alive.
Provided you don’t have a psychopathic murderer with an axe to grind coming after you in a bigger car.
This is so much better than if he had shot them./s
That’ll teach `em.
What would the guy have done if the doorbell ringers had been Jehovah’s Witnesses?
I can see I’m not disappointed. FReepers applauding the killing of teens for no good reason. There is no justification for what piece of shit did. That anyone here thinks it’s in any way justified is shameful.
Anurag Chandra - could be here on H1B.
