David Mora, 39, was armed with a homemade semiautomatic rifle-style weapon. He had an illegal 30-round ammunition magazine and 17 bullets were fired, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
In this undated photo provided by the Merced County Sheriff’s Office is David Mora, who was under a restraining order and not supposed to have a gun, allegedly fatally shot his three daughters, a chaperone and himself during a supervised visit with the girls at a California church, officials said Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
The Sacramento church where the killings occurred had been Mora’s home since he was released from an involuntary mental health hold in April 2021 after threatening to harm himself and his estranged girlfriend, investigators said. She didn’t say when his visa expired. But because he overstayed his visa, ICE asked to be notified when he was released from jail after he was arrested in Merced County for assaulting the California Highway Patrol officer.
Jones previously blamed U.S. immigration policy under former Democratic President Barack Obama for the slayings of two Northern California deputies in 2014 by a man who was in the country illegally. The accusation became the subject of an ad by former President Donald Trump in 2018.
