Covina Christmas Massacre

On Christmas Eve 2008, just before midnight, 911 operators scramble as every phone rings off the hook in the city of Covina, California. All the callers frantically report a massive explosion on East Knollcrest drive—the Ortegas’ family home— but what the survivors themselves tell 911 is even more disturbing: the nightmare actually began before the house went up in flames, when a man dressed as Santa Claus opened fire during the family dinner.
