Killer Jumps In Front Of Bus

"BRIDGEPORT, CT — Bridgeport police say the deaths of a city man and his 24-year-old son this week appear to be a murder-suicide that may have been sparked by the father's alleged abuse of his son.

"Police say 64-year-old Joaquin Gonzalez was beaten to death in his home on Pearl Harbor Street on Monday. Police had said that it appeared Gonzalez was shot, but the medical examiner ruled he died from blunt head trauma and multiple cutting injuries.

"Jesse Gonzalez was hit by a transit bus on Granfield Avenue shortly after the killing and died Tuesday morning at Bridgeport Hospital. Witnesses said Jesse Gonzalez appeared to have jumped in front of the bus on purpose.

"Police say several people told investigators that Joaquin Gonzalez beat his son a number of times over the years."
