LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on a Las Vegas murder-suicide that left a family dead (all times local):
12 p.m.
The man who authorities say fatally shot a woman, their infant son and a pet dog before shooting and killing himself was the medical director for the American Red Cross Blood Services in Las Vegas.
The Red Cross confirms that 40-year-old John Henry Lunetta worked for the nonprofit that is chartered by the federal government for disaster responses.
Calling it a terrible tragedy, Lunetta's former employer says they're shocked and upset about the situation but declined to comment further.
Police say the man's son, 11-month-old John Dylan Lunetta, and the baby's mother, 34-year-old Karen Michelle Jackson were also found dead Monday night at their shared home in southwest Las Vegas.
Police Lt. Dan McGrath says the shooting happened at least a day before the bodies were discovered.
