There are No programs to help with mental health….. Everyones mental health is gone im Not suprised. Not one bit. This is just another tuesday. Life has completely changed. Too much stress.
When one parent makes it so hard for the other loving parent to see their kids bad things will happen. So sad for the kids. This should not have happen to them.
DO NOT BLAME THE MOTHER FOR THIS SICK MAN’S ACTIONS YOU WEIRDO
You should not be left around children.
Sadly, I am seeing quite a few of these sentiments. It’s very wrong. It just shows that guys can’t cope and turn to violence when they can’t get their way. It’s so pathetic.
“The world is against me, it’s everyone’s fault, I didn’t do anything, it’s all her fault.”
Can’t save people like you. Can only run. Very far. Very very very far.
I’m starting to think when going through a separation and having kids you should move as far as you can from the other person
SO VERY SAD. THIS IS WHY JUDGES NEED TO BE STRICKTER ON MOMS WHO DON’T LET thier DADS SEE THIER CHILDREN WHEN THEY ALREADY HAVE A COURT ORDER IN PLACE TO SEE THEM.
What? This man should have never been allowed to see his children judges need to be more strict on not allowing violent mentally disabled men around children
FATHERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THIER CHILDREN UNLESS HARM IS BEING BROUGHT TO THEM.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE MOM KEEPING CHILDREN FROM THE DAD IT CAN BE MENTALLY DAMAGING TO THEM.
It’s not mentally damaging to not see your dad. It’s mentally damaging to be forced to be around a man that abuses you or doesn’t treat you right. It’s usually the children that do not want to see the father because they know the dad doesn’t act right or care.
FACTS!!!
So if you don’t get to see them like you want, you bring harm to them yourself? That makes about as much sense as a football bat.
They never listen to the mother insisting on more patriarchal rights.
This is why people wake up from religious slumber and become Atheists
Don’t impregnate a person if you can’t handle the financial pain.
This is the fourth story I’ve heard in the past month of fathers killing their children. *What the f__k is happening to the world????*
“Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
and he will deliver you”
– Psalm 50: 15
Looks like it’s too late for that. The lord apparently wasn’t paying attention.
Child custody arguments never end well.
This has nothing to do with child custody arguments and everything to do with abusive parents thinking they have rights to literal human beings.
His kids joined where he’s been a very long time thanks to moms and courts. Dead.
You happy Judge? Mom told you he was a danger to the children. But no, you went ahead and gave him supervised visits.
Just another day in America where we worship the gun and the “rights” to carry one. What is this guy with a restraining order doing with a gun? And whose rights were upheld here?
you don’t understand gun laws do you? it was already illegal for him to have one. what new law not already on the books would have prevented this? this guy broke countless laws but it sounds like if we just had a couple more it would have stopped this.
@k333rl yeah like not letting judges Force women to take their children to see their abusive fathers. That sounds like a pretty simple one, pretty common Sense too.
If only we had more red flag laws. We could have taken his guns first, then gone through due process second.
you know how terrible of an idea that is and how easily abused it is?
Not surprised. This is normal now
Business as usual in the USA. Disgusting.
Oh stfu dude, do you ever go on other vids about the dozens of nations with higher shooting rates and leave this dumb comment? No? Only reserved for USA? Thought so. Go back to twitter.
😀killed in US
Monster
This is America
Sickening
I’m done watching the news
Lord have mercy. So sorry. So sad. Malachi 3:16-17
What a monster.
THIS IS VERY SAD BUT I FEEL THE MOTHERS ARE TO BLADE THEY SHOULD WORK TOGETHER WITH THE FATHER BUT THEY DONT THEY WORK WITH THE COURTS INSTEAD I I KNOW MOTHERS WHO GIVES THEIR EX A HARD TIME SAD PEACE IS THE ANSWERD
Great god you got there
Time to get politically correct with governmental comments.
Thanks for the report, as tragic as this is why is this kind of news is so quickly reported while positive and major accomplishments go unreported. I pray for strength for the entire family of this tragic event. kudos
Supervisors should carry guns from now on.
That man is a real POB garbage human.
Sick asf that’s crazy restraining supervision
So as a parent who’s gone through divorce. I know the hardships that follow that process. Im not one to speak up or out in that matter. But this is a prime example of how our society works as of right now. I read a lot of comments such as, “Poor mom”, “those babies didn’t deserve that”. But Its strange that no one brought up the dad. Do you know what it takes to push a father to that extreme? Those of us in that fathers shoes know. If you have an unruly ex. These thoughts come into your head. Maybe not taking out your family. But extremes where you’re made to make a choice. Unfortunately he made this choice. I have no excuse for that. There is no excuse for that. Its sad that this father saw this as his only alternative. The choices that S/O’s make impact many. To the mom, of these kids. All i can say is i hope you didn’t play into this. There is no amount of therapy that will fix this.
perhaps you missed that the wife had a restraining order against him? Restraining orders protect against physically violent people; it is incredibly tragic that the restraining order did not include safety for the children too. Obviously we need to embrace the unfathomable — that people can and do harm their children, and while the father has a right to see his children we need to do more than just hoping a church will be a safe setting. The father was mentally ill and chose this action — there is nothing that would push a normal person to this action. If these thoughts are coming into your head you should seek help.
If you do have kids, know you’re to blame for not seeing them. All I gotta see is that one comment to understand why you can’t. Maybe it was the way your daddy raised your or sum but you ain’t a man if you can’t control your emotions.
Unbelievable. The only good thing about this is that we don’t have to support him in prison as a society, and he removed his defective genes from humanity forever. There are no words, though, that can console the mom…
so what was the motive for the shooting. Seems like they do not want the motive to get out. Might all be in on it as well. Pretty sad if these people was told to do something to the dad and offered money only to turn around have them killed. Irony does have a sense of purpose.
Motive? Child support was killing him, so he stopped it all.
If women stop using children as weapons against the man tragedies like this wouldn’t happen!! I’m black woman with without children but I see what happens to men that want to be in their child lives by a bitter woman
What kind of an evil father is he? RIP the 3 children…
Evil, or mental illness?
Too late to arrest him for murder now. When is child protection services going to learn & revamp their procedures? 3 precious lil 😇 too late! How many others have to die? How many already have? 💔💔💔
May Allah give that mother the strength to cope with this grief and sorrow. Those angels are in heaven.
As a father I am saddened for those children. Difficult to deal with this type of news
They Have To Be A Muslim. Doesn’t Just Work Like That
Jesus is Lord and God. Not Allah.
was he from russa?
how much you want to bet that the wife didnt want these visits, but court insisted due to his parental rights. despite it being clear now that he should never have had access to them. screw the family courts, they get this wrong so often. we have an epidemic of this aberrant behavior, and we arent even trying to address it. women and children are at huge risk from men with no impulse control and patriarchal ideas of possession of others. if they cant have their kids, no one can.
if a court had granted supervised visitation to my sisters ex, an abuser, her son would likely be dead now, as would she. in their case, he was locked up for a long time, cause his behaviors were so bad, but if he had been even a little less stupid and violent, he probably could have found a way to murder them.
May the Innocent Rest In Peace and God’s Light Shine Upon Them.
They thought they were seeing God’s light in the church, but it was just the muzzle flash.
Heavenly Father, Bless the mother of these three children and comfort her in her time of sorrows. Accept the souls of these three children and grant them peace. In the Blessed Name of Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Is that the same Heavenly Father who sat back, sipped his pina colada, and watched from his recliner, as pops blasted those three kids into the next dimension?
@Skinovthe Perineum The Heavenly Father I believe in doesn’t allow evil to go unpunished. The murderer will pay for his sins and suffer. I hope and believe that the innocent children and the supervisor will be resurrected. The Heavenly Father sent His Only Son for our salvation.
My guess is there is no one on earth mourning his loss, not even his parents. My sympathies to the children’s mother, and her family.
Real Face of So called super power developed country USA 😂
Better than what ever craphole you live in I’m sure
Why did God allow him to do it?
That father kills his own children and he goes to church???? Wolf in Sheep’s clothing 🐺 🐑
Religion is stupid.
Sometimes a woman says too much.
Jesus is indeed Lucifer the Morning Star, which is why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. The reason Christards fail to see the obvious is because they are brainwashed by their churches into reading the Bible BACKWARDS and reading the New Testament BEFORE the Old Testament. We read books from FRONT TO BACK for a reason, and that is because you can’t possibly understand the end of a book that you don’t understand the beginning of. And it is not even possible to fully understand a book from reading the LAST QUARTER of it. With that being said…—-> Adam and Eve were NOT first, and the 2 stories of Creation in Genesis are NOT about the same Creation as the Christian church teaches. GOD makes people on the 6th day of Creation in Genesis 1:26. Then in Genesis chapter 2 God rests, God sanctifies the 7th day, and then the LORD God of Israel creates Adam and Eve on the 7th day of Creation. To work on the 7th day that God has blessed and sanctified is BLASPHEMY, which is what makes the LORD God SATAN the LORD of this world. That also makes clear that Adam and Eve were NOT FIRST, they were made second. Doesn’t the 6th day of Creation come BEFORE the 7th day of Creation?—-> The family lineage that begins with Adam and ends with Jesus is the family lineage made by SATAN the LORD God, not God. That’s why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star, and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. Jesus was Lucifer in the flesh, not God in the flesh. Jesus is Lucifer the Morning Star! Go to my channel for more details…
That NEW WORLD Order that Alex Jones and other GOP Christards pretend to fight is really the goal of Christianity otherwise known as the NEW EARTH (Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev 21:1) to be ruled by the New Jerusalem. The New Earth is where the nations are destroyed and massed together for a world government that will be on the shoulders of Jesus. Well, isn’t the New World Order a world government as well? And gee, New Earth even sounds exactly like New World, doesn’t it? That is not a coincidence, the New Earth is indeed the New World Order. It’s all right there in your NEW WORLD Translation Bible if you actually bothered to read it… <-) The GOP already used their NRA lobbying dollars to REWRITE THE 2ND AMENDMENT in 2008. The GOP and the Koch brothers REWROTE THE CONSTITUTION with the Citizens United ruling. Now the GOP has FIVE MORE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS planned for 2017. That makes SEVEN Constitutional Amendments in 9 YEARS for the GOP. Anyone who cares for the CONSTITUTION would NEVER vote for the GOP EVER... The media in the country is corrupt, it is all right wing Fascist MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX run pro-Christian pro-Israel PROPAGANDA, plain and simple. When has ANY media channel EVER allowed someone like myself to BIBLICALLY challenge the Christian religion? NEVER, because if someone like me had access to major media channels, I would have citizens BURNING EVERY CHURCH IN SIGHT in about 30 minutes flat. ABC is owned by Westinghouse, a major DEFENSE contractor. NBC is owned by General Electric, another huge DEFENSE contractor. And this is the LIBERAL media, huh?? Pfftt, hardly.

Now I understand why , for supervised visits where I am from, there is a set location, parents have to pass through a small glass door, which sets off an alarm if weapons are on the person ,with security present, to check for weapons, so sad
The many advantages of 2A.
2nd amendment saves countless lives.
Why did this happen
Roman’s 1:28-32..just read it..2Tim,3:1-5 read..
How so stay sane in an insane world.
So this was a mass shooting? And nobody at the church had a concealed carry weapons license?
half of you are the suspect waiting to crack but never will
Father of the year
Who was this person and family? Are there pictures yet?
Supervised visitation with someone with a restraining order? No way.
Anyone know the story. What a sad tragedy.
I wonder if this is case of Parent Alienation.
Send him to ukraine.
Ye made my house into a den of Thieves$$⚕⚕
He was probably a Trump supporter.
You can’t fix stupid; you, can only defend yourself against it.
Stay away from churches.
Heavenly Father, Bless the family of the visitation supervisor, that they may be comforted in their time of sorrow. In Christ Jesus’ Holy Name I pray. Amen.
Mother’s are the number one child abuser and killers of children, people forget that father’s have feelings to.
yall might as well stop reporting these mass shootings as news because the right will always block legislation to prevent these preventable deaths. all ppl do is say “oh no thoughts and prayers” until the next one happens.
My love and prayers are with all involved 🙏A heart break for sure.
Trust In The Lord and lean not on your own unstanding for his ways bring victory to thoes who trust in Him..me and our Faithful Loving Jesus Christ ❤
“God’s Will”
Republicans are right!
US needs more guns.
The Book of JUDE. Abba father good news
I’m 26 with no kids and thank god I don’t why would I bring em to a world so cold Jesus christ what an animal
THEIR IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING….N A FUTURE ….DAM DAM DAM …STOP KILLING
How does this happen in the most strictest anti-gun state?
Man I wish there was another guy with a gun in that church. not
Guns , religion and divorce……..only in America
Just a sick selfish human being who showed he never loved his kids and just wanted to bring pain on everyone ever involved with him. I hope God bring him pain for all eternity in ways we can’t imagine!!!
Another day, another heart wrenching news story…..
Some right wingers claim what’s happening in Ukraine is the reason we need a second amendment. I think incidences like this should make us rethink…..
@Steven J Nope, it saves countless lives. North America has by far the lowest deathtoll of every major continent in the world.
@BenjoBanjo Fox stats, I guess..
@Steven J Real stats. I think you need to educate yourself because you know very little about the subject unfortunately.
Hint: giving a corrupt, powerful 0.1% political elite all the firearms to rule over other humans does not keep you safe. And again, it’s ended in the worst atrocities, death tolls and oppression in every corner of the world. You cannot possibly contest this claim. Just try it.
@BenjoBanjo nuts to you, ‘nuf said
@Steven J Wow good one. Point proven. You know what I said is correct.
Selfish, Savage and Brutal ending of a family by a man who couldn’t cope with his situation. The Mother will be inconsolable and emotionally damaged for the rest of her life.
Why do judges insist on supervised visits with the abuser that the spouse and children are trying to get away from? This insanity has gotta stop!
Uhhh death is enough damage wtf more do ya want!
Smh
Oh my so sad 😪
Well at least the children died in a church building.
Heartbreaking
My Heartfelt Condolences
Rest in Peace 🙏
We need stronger background checks for those buying guns and yes stronger laws against illegal gun purchases
“I’ll finish taking statements here, Harris, you go over to Raven St. and notify the mother.” “Can’t we draw straws or something?” lol
Sac is getting crazier
😖
Oh no ! Not the kids ” crazy man where’s your thinking cap ? No sense at all ….
THE SHOOTER IS AN ILLEAGAL ALIEN and if not even supposed to be in this country. Of course the left media will never tell you that will they. NBC lol…
No wonder nobody watches you anymore
These days the parent who had a restraining order against him should be supervised by an officer atleast two officers because this is happening way too much these so called parents are weak and selfish and dangerous and if their this deranged than you shouldn’t put kids or anyone in jeopardy of their life because of an unstable minded individual this shouldn’t have happened aswell as others.
No one wants to say he’s an illegal alien.
He was out on bail for other serious, violent crimes, (Drunk driving, assaulting a nurse and a policeman).
ICE had served a detainer on the jail while he was still in custody but Sanctuary City state law prevents the jail from communicating with ICE, so he got out on bail.
He was violent and had a Domestic Violence Restraining Order issued against him but the church had been allowing him to live there.
Gee, I wonder what else we can do to create these kind of situations for guys like this?
And let’s not act like we care about these victims.
Open borders, Sanctuary cities, low/no bail for criminals, immigration laws not enforced, ICE, Border Patrol, most law enforcement undermined throughout California, a “hands off” policy where so many laws for Americans are passed and enforced but NOT for illegals, and if you protest any of this you’re called a racist.
Every person that votes for Sanctuary city laws, votes for laws supporting illegal aliens, votes for the politicians that welcome and condone law breakers is to blame.
If you voted for any democrat in California, please don’t post how sad you think this is. These victim’s blood is on your hands. You’re responsible for making this happen in California for 40 years.
Illegals are responsible for 1,000’s of deaths. Please don’t act like 4 matter now. You’re going to keep your Sanctuary cities, laws and the politicians and CHURCHES that make this possible, so, as Ricky Gervais said, you’re in no position to tell anyone about anything, so STFU.
Another illegal that should have been in custody… Californians did this… all of you
