A love triangle has caused another bloody rampage that left six dead in Bakersfield, California this week.
The gunman, identified by authorities as Javier Casarez, 54, opened fire on his ex-wife, Petra Maribel Bolaños De Casarez, 45, and Manuel Contreras, 50, inside the T&T Trucking company on Manwell Boulevard and killed them both.
Moments later, another man, Antonio Valadez, 50, showed up at the business and was chased by the gunman, who was armed with a .50-caliber Smith & Wesson 500 handgun. In all six people ended up dead including the gunman and the Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood told reporters that the episode appeared to be part of a national trend.
“This is the new normal if you look across the country at these types of shootings,” Youngblood said.
Do you think these types of episodes are trending or has social media simply made us more aware of these types of shootings? Have you become numb to these stories?
