A heartbroken man from New Mexico can’t comprehend why a North Las Vegas, Nevada, man killed three of his family members this week and left his 13-year-old granddaughter in critical condition in a “senseless” shooting spree. Sal Muñoz, 59, of Albuquerque, made the nearly 600-mile drive to the Las Vegas Valley on Tuesday morning after learning someone fatally shot his ex-wife, daughter and grandson, and seriously wounded his granddaughter Monday night at an apartment complex.
He said that his 16-year-old son told him that he was also in the apartment when the shooting began, but that the gunman didn't know he was inside. The teen was not injured. At a nearby apartment, officials discovered two other women in their mid-20s and a man in his early 20s who had been shot, police said. “It’s very, very hurtful,” Muñoz said. “I’m not sure what was going through mind.' North Las Vegas officials declined to provide additional comment Wednesday night.
