California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his grief as he described the tragic incident in a Twitter post as horrifying and heartbreaking. The other victims who died in the rampage were identified as Luis Tovar, 50 years old; Leticia Solis Guzman, 58 years old; and Jenevieve Raygoza, 28 years old, as reported by USA Today.
Rafael Ralphie Farias heart carries many images of his son, Matthew:
The smiling kid who ran to him each morning for a hug. The boy who once blurted that he was going to play soccer because he was too good for basketball. The 9-year-old called my favorite by teachers at Hoover Elementary School.
But now there is another image a child with curly brown hair in the arms of his mother, killed Wednesday during a shooting rampage in Orange, California.
As police search for a motive and family members wrestle with grief, Farias said he ll never understand why the gunman aimed at a child.
