SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a man shot and killed his three daughters, their chaperone and himself during a supervised visit with the girls at a church in Sacramento, California. An official says deputies responding to reports of gunfire around 5 p.m. Monday found five people dead, including the shooter, at the church in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood. The victims included three girls ages 9, 10 and 13.  The sheriff says the shooter was estranged from the children’s mother, who had a restraining order against him. Investigators believe the shooting happened during a supervised visit with the children and the fourth victim was their chaperone.
