Covina mass shooting ends with self inflicted death
A calm ex husband Bruce Pardo dressed as Santa carried a gift box containing a homemade device that started a house fire after a Christmas Eve party in Covina. Nine bodies were found as investigators traced motives tied to a recent divorce settlement. He fled to his brother’s home where he died by a self inflicted gunshot wound. Police recovered multiple handguns and ammunition at the scene and at the wrecked in laws’ house. Neighbors described him as friendly and devoted to church duties before the violence.
