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.
