Man Kills Wife, Twins Before Shooting Himself

"LOS ANGELES, CA — A father shot and killed his 5-year-old twins and their mother during an argument while driving the family on a Los Angeles street Saturday night, investigators said.

"Salvador Acevedo, 45, later killed himself with the same handgun after dropping off three older children at a relative's home, according to a Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman.

"Acevedo `became involved in a domestic dispute` with his girlfriend, 33-year-old Iris Oseguera, while in the car, Sgt. Harry Drucker said. `Acevedo produced a handgun and shot Oseguera and their twin children, striking each victim in the upper torso.`

The three adolescent children who were riding in the car were not wounded, he said.

"`Acevedo dropped the adolescent children off at a relative's home and drove away,` he said. `The children told an adult about the incident and they alerted East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station.`

"When deputies locate Acevedo's car, they found him `suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and the three injured victims inside of the vehicle,` Drucker said.

"Both parents were dead at the scene, while the twin children were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead, he said."
