A Springfield, Massachusetts man forced his way into his neighbor's home, shooting and killing her, and shot her grandchildren, leaving one of them in critical condition, before turning the gun on himself, officials said Tuesday.
The Hampden District Attorney's Office provided the update Tuesday, one day after they say Victor Nieves, 34, forced through the front door of his neighbor's apartment in the multi-family home they shared on Berkshire Avenue and shot at the family. The neighbor, identified as 52-year-old Kim Fairbanks, and a dog were killed. Two girls - ages 12 and 10, were also shot. The 10-year-old was airlifted to Boston Children's Hospital where she remains in critical condition. The 12-year-old is at Baystate Medical Center in stable condition. Their younger brother, who is 5, was physically unhurt. The three children are Fairbanks' grandchildren, the district attorney said.
District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni said Monday that investigators do not believe this was a random act and there is no larger threat to the public. On Tuesday he added,"This is unequivocally one of the most heinous and cowardly acts to which I’ve had to bear witness as District Attorney. My heart goes out to the parents of these children and the family and loved ones of Ms. Fairbanks.
