SAN JOSE, CA. (THECOUNT) — California man, Chi Dinh Ta, has been identified as the suspect accused of gunning down four of his family members, according to San Jose police.
Ta, 66, shot four family members to death before taking his own life because he had been upset that his wife was able to obtain visas for her relatives to travel from Vietnam to the United States.

Ta reportedly contacted a friend recently and told him he was planning to kill his in-laws, who had recently arrived from Asia compliments of the aforementioned visas.

He didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment, according to KRON4.
