A man identified by authorities as Miguel Diego Sandoval kills four people and three dogs in an attack on his ex’s family in California, before torching the family home, according to the district attorney.

Reports say Sandoval waits outside until the family goes to bed, then uses a firearm to shoot the victims. After the killings, authorities say he sets the residence on fire. The allegations describe a “revenge” motive tied to his former relationship.

Coverage emphasizes the same core events and charges: the use of a gun, the death toll involving four people, the killing of three dogs, and the arson that follows the shooting. One outlet frames the conduct explicitly as a “revenge” rampage, while other details provided across reports focus on timing and the sequence of the attack as characterized by prosecutors.
