Multiple shooting in Havasu

A man killed 5 people, including the mother of his children, at a Havasu home late last night, then abducted his children and drove to Rancho Cucamonga where he shot himself and was found dead early this morning.

Brian Stephen Diez, 26, killed his estranged girlfriend Deborah Langstaff, 23, along with Ashley Nyland, 20, Russell Nyland, 42, Brock Kelson, 20 and Primo Verdone, 24.
