A father, enraged the mother of his children would not exit a house to talk to him, took his anger out on his daughters and shot them each once in the head then turned the gun on himself, police said.

As police secured the scene, detectives arrived and neighbors gathered, the man's body lay dead on the front porch.

The youngest, 6-year-old Nazaryn Peralta died at 10 p.m. and 13-year-old Natalie Peralta was pronouced dead at midnight. Both girls died from the gun shot wounds.
"He was mad she was leaving him," said Arcilia Oviedo, the grandmother of the two victims.

Oviedo said her daughter, Delia Ann Oviedo, was in the process of divorcing Paralta. Their two daughters, Natalie and Nazarin Paralta, both lived with Delia Ann.

McManus, once again not confirming any names, did say the couple were separated and the shooter was not living at the house.

But on this cold night, when Paralta walked up the steps to the porch, he was set on getting his estranged wife to come outside and talk, police said.

Threats were made and comments were exchanged between Oviedo, other relatives in the house and Paralta. He even put his oldest daughter, Natalie, in a headlock, witnesses told police.

He then took out a gun, pointed at each of his daughters and shot them once in the head.

As they lay bleeding on the porch, he turned the gun on himself, shot once in his own head, and died next to them.

It's true, I could go on the internet and find several new stories like this popping up each day.

What a nightmare this must be for that woman, her two daughters shot infront of her... I'd probably end up at the funny farm if I went through that.

I can see why she was leaving him, you'd have to be a real piece of garbage two take your two innocent daughters down with you. no.gif angry.gif

Another disturbing story.......These numbnuts take the lives of their children as payback to the wife.....I agree, that everyday we are reading and hearing more stories like this.....It's heartbreaking........
NoahJaymes
Yet there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. Very tragic that such people exist, especially taking the lives of the innocent. I'd definately be locked up in the funny farm as well.
WatchingMother
I can't even find the words to reply to this. This is heartbreaking and scary on soo many levels for me.

Very true. It is pure selfishness on the parent's part when they do these things. It is usually very abusive and manipulative people who do this sort of thing. It makes me wonder how they were brought up.

I know your all blaming the parent, but this man must have been under alot of stress and wasn't thinking straight. Im not trying to take sides with this person, in fact I agree with most of what your saying, but his wife leaving him drove him to do something he clrealy regretted so much that he took his own life. Its tragic no.gif

Maybe if he hadn't been an idiot in the first place, she wouldn't have left him. You cannot say that leaving a guy gives him reason to kill others. I was in a situation where my ex threatened me and my family for me leaving him-why did I leave him? He was abusive. There was absolutely no reason for my ex to threaten my life or that of my family's. And yes, I might be biased, but after you have been there and taken a lot of counseling, you start to recognize the signs that point to an abusive, manipulative person and what they will do because they are narcissistic and believe the world revolves around their wants.

This story was on KSAT12 and the other tv channels here in San Antonio.There has been a rash of this here in town lately.He did it for revenge,to punish his wife. Just another way to torment and control her even from the grave.
I hope that when he stands before the Lord for judgement, this man really gets it.Why people do this I don't know.
I wish there was a way i could do something about it,but I can't because it's going to happen somewhere else,and i get so frustrated that i can't do anything.Surely someone must have had an incling about this guy and what he was capable of.Such a tradgedy.
Stixxman
yeah but the law protects these guys until they do something like this, then they come down like a hammer. A woman is not left with a lot of means when assault is over looked or treated with less severity than it is. She has to be beaten to an inch of her life before anything can be done.

A few says after it happened I was at a audio store that was just maybe a block down and the owner said he was there when it happened. He was in a crowd of ppl that had gathered to see what the was going on. He said that the cops just kept giving the "father" warnings, but if they had just shot him when they had the chance those little girls would still be alive.

What I don't understand is how could a parent do something like that? I seriously believe that there should be psych evalution before some ppl can become parents.
NatalieK
What were the children doing in the middle of all that anyway? this was between the guy and his wife, the kids should have been up in their rooms and away from all this mad.gif
artymoon
Poor mother, having to live with this. Very sad.
Mad Manfred
He was probably trying to lure his wife out so he could shoot her without the kids having to witness it...things just went bad.
jessesgirl778
They were separated and he had the kids for the day. He was dropping them off, but the mom didn't answer the door. His goal was to shoot the mom, but he opted to make the mom sorry. So he shot the kids.

All I can say about men/women that do things like this is


(COWARDS!)

If they want to take their own lives its bad enough, but to take their children.... beyond words
I just don't know people what is going on with society today?
I have found myself wondering this so often these days.
I have read many blogs and I just want to reach out and give a few people a hug and say it will be ok,
but, will it?

In my opinion, this is in part the result of increasing equality among people of all ages, races, genders, and whatever else. There is less of a chain of authority and dominance in familys and in society. This is the result and for the sake of equality we just have to deal with it.

Totally. He shot himself straight after so that he wouldn't have to suffer the pain and guilt over what he'd just done to his daughters. Complete coward mad.gif
