A Virginia sheriff’s deputy who police say traveled to California to kill three family members of a 15-year-old girl he tried to sexually extort online killed himself with a government-issued firearm, authorities said Saturday.
Austin Lee Edwards, 28, drove across the country and on Nov. 25 killed the girl’s mother and grandparents and set fire to their home in Riverside, a city about 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.
That same day, Edwards died by suicide during a shootout with San Bernardino sheriff’s deputies. The teenage girl was rescued. "Our detectives determined the gun used was Edwards’ department-issued semi-automatic service pistol," sheriff’s spokeswoman Gloria Huerta said in a statement. The Riverside Police Department, which is investigating the deaths of the girl’s family members, has not said how they were killed.
