Desi Cartman Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 LOS ANGELES: At least six people were killed after a man dressed as Santa Claus burst into a Christmas Eve party and opened fire before later killing himself, police said on Thursday. The body of Bruce Pardo, 45, was found with self-inflicted gunshot wounds early Thursday, hours after he had launched an assault on a party hosted by the parents of his ex-wife in the Los Angeles suburb of Covina, police said. Local media reported that Pardo's former spouse was among three people who remained missing Thursday as the number of dead rose to six after three more bodies were pulled from the charred wreckage of the crime scene. Pardo had knocked on the door of the home in a quiet residential neighborhood in Covina, 23 miles (37 kilometers) east of Los Angeles, just before midnight on Christmas Eve, police lieutenant Pat Buchanan said. Local media reports said Pardo was let into the house by revelers who thought he had been hired as entertainment for children at the party. But once inside, he produced a handgun from beneath his costume and opened fire, spraying party-goers with bullets. After terrified revelers fled the scene, Pardo then reportedly torched the house with a homemade incendiary device before making his getaway. He was found dead from a single gunshot to the head at his home in Sylmar, approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) away, a few hours later, police said.
