My daddy got into violent rages in his old age. I thank God he didn't have a gun.

(From KABC tv report)

GRANADA HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The lone survivor of a horrific murder-suicide that took four lives in Granada Hills was an adult woman with special needs who was the daughter of the suspected gunman, according to friends of the family.

Los Angeles police investigators say a man in his 80s shot and killed his wife and his two adult children Saturday at the family home on Lerdo Avenue.

The only surviving witness - described by family friends as an adult daughter with special needs - was able to hide from her father and barricade herself in the house before calling 911 just before 7 p.m.
