Man kills 5 in Arizona and abducts children before committing suicide in Rancho Cucamonga

A 26-year-old man who abducted his children from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., after fatally shooting their mother and four others was found early Sunday in Rancho Cucamonga, the victim of an apparent suicide.

On Saturday night, Brian Stephen Diez entered a residence in the 300 block of Opossum Drive in Lake Havasu City and shot six of its occupants, including his estranged girlfriend Deborah Langstaff, 23, according to Charlie Cassens of the Lake Havasu City Police. Diez then left the scene with his children Kaia, 4, and Cole, 13 months.

aside from the obvious illegal immigrant angle I’ll bet that this guy was on anti-depressants like Prozac. The stuff makes some people just go postal.

The two children were found safe with family members at the residence

This should have been put at the beginning of the story.

I think the author’s email is available to voice concerns.

Thanks. Another article did state that the children were unharmed early in the story.

I still have a scar on my right leg from doing that as a 4YO. I have worked in electronics most of my life.

I was joking, every time you see this kind of thing someone always implies that the perp is an illegal.
