A tragic event occurred Sunday afternoon in the Canoga Park neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, when a father fatally shot his two 10-year-old twin sons and then ended his own life.
According to Fox LA, police were called to the scene around 7:15 p.m., where they found shocked relatives outside a home.
The incident allegedly occurred during a family gathering when the children's mother suddenly heard two gunshots. When she ran to a bedroom to see what was happening, she told authorities, the boys' father pointed a gun at her. The mother was not injured by the gunfire. Seconds later, the man turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
The father and his twin sons were pronounced dead at the scene by medical teams that arrived shortly after the incident.
"It's really, really painful. Two little kids and a father. This is a family. No one deserves something like this," a witness told ABC7 Eyewitness News.
So far, police have not released any further details and have not yet confirmed the exact circumstances of this tragic event.
