Warning signs, fears of violence before father killed his 3 kids at Sacramento-area church

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Authorities say David Mora opened fire inside a Sacramento-area church on Monday, killing his three daughters and another man before taking his own life.

Court records chronicle allegations of domestic abuse and warnings from the children’s mother that Mora — also identified as David Fidel Mora Rojas — was violent. The shooting occurred during a supervised visit with his daughters at the church. Such visits had been the subject of a legal fight with the girls’ mother. In addition to the children, he killed Nathan Kong, a mutual friend of the family assigned by the court to supervise Mora’s visits.

What do we know about domestic violence allegations and warnings made by the mother?
