Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco speaks with Fox News Digital about a ballot measure to amend Prop 47, and he calls out Gov. Gavin Newsom for opposing that effort.

A California man killed his wife, son and in-laws before he was arrested after a Wednesday night domestic violence shooting, authorities said. 

Shane Parrish Killian, 54, faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder, according to Alameda County Jail records. 

The Alameda Police Department said it received a call Wednesday evening from someone saying their neighbor had been shot. Responding officers found a victim and several others while clearing the home. 

"Four shooting victims died at the scene: the shooter’s wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and 6-year-old son," Alameda Police Department spokesperson Sarah Henry told Fox News Digital. "A second young son was also shot and is in very critical condition."
