L.os Angeles TimesA Yorba Linda man killed his wife and three of his children late Saturday night before turning the shotgun on himself in a small condominium across the street from the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace, police said Sunday.
A 14-year-old stepson of the man was also shot but was expected to survive.
Police said they did not know the motive for the attacks. Before he underwent surgery, the stepson was not able to explain what started the rampage.
"We believe this was a domestic violence situation and a murder-suicide," Lt. Jack Conklin of the Brea Police Department said outside the home. Brea police, which patrols Yorba Linda, are investigating the killings.
The gunman was identified as Orland Cho, 41. Also killed were his wife, Maricel, 39; daughters Nicole, 9, and Kathleen, 8; and son Christopher, 5. The stepson was identified as Ian Mercado.
