12-Year-Old Queens Girl Shot In Head Calls 911 After Father Murders Family NEW YORK (AP) -- In the quiet of a pre-dawn Saturday on a dead-end street, a father came home and shot his family in their heads, leaving women in three generations dead and a wounded 12-year-old girl calling 911, police said. What I did, I cannot come back from, Jonathon Walker told his brother by phone soon afterward, police said. And Walker did not come back - police said he killed himself in his car on a desolate street a few miles away, ending a burst of violence that stunned relatives who said the family hadnt shown signs of trouble. The 34-year-old security guard had killed his 7-year-old daughter, Kayla Walker; his 31-year-old girlfriend, Shantai Hale; and Hales mother, Viola Warren, 62. His and Hales older daughter, whom a relative identified as Christina Walker, was hospitalized in stable condition, police said. Investigators were trying to trace Walkers movements before the shooting as relatives struggled to comprehend shootings that struck them as inexplicable. I cant believe this happened. I cant believe this happened, Doreen Warren, the eldest victims mother, sobbed by phone. While Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said police had taken reports for domestic incidents at the home in 2005 and 2006 for nominal matters and Walker had been arrested twice in now-sealed cases, relatives said they werent aware of any family strife or concerns about Walker. There was no indication of anything that would remotely make him do this, Wendell Warren, Viola Warrens brother, said as he wiped tears from his eyes outside the home on a suburban-style street in Queens, near a park and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Warren had fixed a broken boiler at the home just last week. Well be baffled for years, he said. Doreen Warren said Walker had joined in a pleasant family gathering at Christmas and her daughter and granddaughter never complained to her about him. She said she had spoken to Viola Warren, who worked at the airport, just two days ago. Nobody even dreamed of anything like this, added Silford Warren, another of Viola Warrens brothers. The bloody scene unfolded suddenly and quickly - Walker showed up to the home at 5:38 a.m., and his 12-year-old daughter called 911 a few minutes afterward to report that her father had shot the family, Boyce said. When officers arrived three minutes later, Walker was gone. They searched for his SUV and found it within hours, with Walkers body and a .45-caliber gun inside, Boyce said. The victims were found on the homes floor, he said. Christina underwent surgery later Saturday, but shes always tough. Shes determined to live, Wendell Warren said. His mother called Christina and her slain sister two beautiful girls, sweet girls. As police sought Walker, Doreen Walker woke up at her home elsewhere in New York City. She turned on the TV to hear violent news, and then had the shock of realizing it concerned her own family. You see these things on television, she said, and you never know when theyre going to hit home. #Crime #USA #NYC
