LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles hospital has confirmed that two of its former employees died in a family murder-suicide that the father blamed on job problems.
Kaiser Permanente Medical Center West Los Angeles says in a statement that Ervin Antonio Lupoe and his wife, Ana, were former employees and the hospital is cooperating in the police investigation.
Police say the man shot his wife, 8-year-old daughter, twin 5-year-old daughters and twin 2-year-old boys shortly before 8:30 a.m. today in their home.
The hospital says in its statement, “We are deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of the Lupoe family.”
Before the killings, the man faxed a letter to a TV station claiming that he and his wife had been fired.
