A man dressed in Santa suit went to his former in-laws' house on Christmas Eve a quiet Covina neighborhood 25 miles east of Los Angeles and started killing indiscriminately. He shot an 8 year old girl in the face with a handgun when she answered the knock on the door. Then he started shooting at the party goers who were in the house and then he torched the house before fleeing away to his brother's house. The killer, Bruce Pardo, eventually ended up killing himself and was discovered by police on Christmas day.
The rampage left at least 8 people dead, including Pardo's ex-wife and her parents. Apparently Pardo who has no history of violence or criminal record was angry over his recent divorce for a marriage that lasted almost a year.
Pardo has armed himself with a handgun and had a gift wrapped box containing a pressurized homemade device he used to spray a liquid that quickly sent the house up in flames. Police are not able to if the dead bodies found in the house were shot or burnt to death and are still going through the ashes on Friday.
