California dad arrested in deadly shooting of 4 children, mother-in-law

A California father was arrested Sunday in the fatal shooting of his four children—all 12 years old and younger—and his mother-in-law.

Germarcus David, 29, was arrested Monday on suspicion of murder, the report said. He turned himself in to the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station, moments before the children were discovered by their mother.

Grace Beltran, who lives three houses away, said a woman ran back and forth in their front yard, screaming, "My babies are gone! They’re all dead!"

The Los Angeles Times reported that first responders arrived at the home and found the victims with gunshot wounds to their upper bodies. They were later pronounced dead at the scene.
