Colorado Mother Shot 10-Year-Old Daughter Several Times, The Two Family dogs Before Killing Herself, Coroner Says
The shooting deaths of a woman and her daughter were the result of a murder-suicide, the Pueblo County Coroner announced Thursday.
The bodies of 42-year-old Jennifer Hamula and 10-year-old Stephie Hamula were found Monday after deputies conducted a welfare check at the Pueblo County home, KMGHreports.
Pueblo County investigators say Hamula shot her daughter multiple times before turning the gun on herself. Two dogs also were found dead inside. Both appeared to be shot.
“Overwhelming evidence indicates the mother and daughter were the only two individuals in the home at the time of the shooting,” said Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk M. Taylor.
Interviews with the estranged spouse as well as other family members have been conducted, and no evidence exists to believe there is any other involvement related to the scene, the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office said.
Hamula had worked as a state corrections officer for about 20 years.
Pueblo County Sheriff’s investigators continue to work with the Pueblo County coroner and CBI on the investigation.

Connecticut Mom Arrested After 5 Children Found Eating Dog Food Off Floor, Living in Feces Covered Apartment
Police arrested a woman Thursday after they found five children living in deplorable conditions in a third floor Connecticut apartment, according to WTIC.
Police and fire crews were called to the apartment in downtown Middletown around 2 p.m. after a report of an air conditioner fire caused by a cigarette thrown from the third floor window. The rear exit of the apartment was blocked by trash, fire officials learned.
The health department was also on scene because of complaints that there was a leak from the apartment into the second floor ceiling.
Chloe Edwards, 27, opened the door when officers arrived and they were “taken back by the smell coming from the apartment.” Police said the carpet was covered with food, urine, feces, and cockroach carcasses. There were “a multitude of flies were in the apartment as well.”
Officers found five juveniles in the apartment – four were her children and the fifth had been reported missing by her mother Aug. 4.
Officers found a tub with a continuously running faucet and a broken toilet, according to the police report. There were also broken beds and mattresses on the floor, some of which were stained with vomit and feces. Dishes in the kitchen overflowed from the sink. The refrigerator contained only two jars of sauce, a can of pasta and two small jars of baby food.
Officers found exposed electrical sockets and a 3- to 4-foot pile of debris blocking the exit.
Police said that while waiting for officials from the Department of Children and Families to arrive, “two of the juveniles found dry dog food on the floor and began eating it, saying they were hungry.”
Edwards was charged with five counts of risk of injury and her bond was set at $10,000. She was scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
The children were taken it protective custody by DCF and health officials placed an “unfit for occupancy” on the apartment.
Murrieta Couple Charged With Torture, Child Abuse; 5-Year-Old Boy Is Comatose, in Grave Condition: DA
A Murrieta couple have been charged with child abuse and torture after a 5-year-old boy was hospitalized with severe injuries and is now comatose, authorities announced Thursday.
Benjamin Matthew Whitten, the boy’s biological father and a U.S. Navy sailor, and his live-in girlfriend Jeryn Christine Johnson appeared for arraignment in Murrieta on Thursday afternoon, but the hearing was postponed, according to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
The couple were arrested Tuesday, about 10 hours after Johnson called 911 to report the child being in medical distress, police said Wednesday.
Police officers found the unidentified boy frail and extremely malnourished, a Murrieta Police Department lieutenant said. He had “severe injuries requiring immediate medical” care, the DA’s office said.
A neighbor said she saw paramedics doing chest compressions on the child.
The boy was taken by ambulance to an area hospital and then airlifted to another hospital in San Diego County. He remains in grave condition Thursday, according to the DA’s office.
Dozens came out for a vigil outside the family’s home early Wednesday’s evening. Neighbors said they didn’t see the family outside very often, though the father was sometimes heard yelling at the boy.
Whitten, 33, and Johnson, 25, were charged Thursday with one count of torture, and one count of child abuse with an allegation of causing the child to become comatose.
At Thursday afternoon’s appearance, their arraignment was posted until Aug. 24 and the judge kept their bail at $1 million each. A public defender was appointed for Whitten and a defense attorney will be appointed to represent Johnson because the public defender’s office said it cannot represent two defendants in the same case, a DA’s spokesman said.
After getting a warrant, investigators searched the couple’s home in the 24000 block of Verdun Lane, where police said they found “extremely unsanitary” conditions. Eleven dogs, four cats and two fish were taken from the home.
Administration code enforcement violations have occurred at the home, but no emergency calls were made after the family moved there in April 2016, police said.
Whitten serves as a machinist’s mate nuclear first class stationed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Detachment in San Diego, the U.S. Navy confirmed. Whitten enlisted in 2009, with his home state listed as Texas, and he was stationed on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier from 2011 to February 2016, naval records show.
Police Warn of Increase in Crimes Involving Paintball Guns; Public’s Help Sought ID’ing Perpetrators
Police are asking for the public’s help in providing information on individuals who may be behind a recent increase in crimes involving paintball guns in South Los Angeles.
Compressed-air guns normally reserved for use at a recreational paintball range are increasingly being used in robberies, aggravated assaults and vandalism, Los Angeles Police Capt. Lee Sands said in a Friday press conference.
So far this year in the area policed by LAPD’s South Bureau, 68 people have been assaulted in attacks involving paintball guns, Sand said. That number represents an increase of 183 percent over last year, when only 24 people had been involved in such attacks between January and August.
That compares with 33 people shot with pellet guns this year citywide, according to LAPD.
Sands believes the increased use of paintball guns is tied to an overall rise in the popularity of recreational paintball.
“When paintball guns are taken out of those venues, and brought to the streets of the city and used to commit crimes, this is when a problem occurs,” he said.
Officials cited an incident involving 9-year-old Aron Marrujo, who was playing football with about 15 other kids outside a home where a family party was being held when someone drove by and fired several rounds from a paintball gun.
Marrujo was struck in the face, just above his eyeball, police said. His 16-year-old cousin was also struck after he dove in front of Marrujo to block the paint-filled pellets, thinking at the time that they were real bullets, his family said.
“Many of you know that paintballs travel at 300 feet per second and Aron is very lucky that the paintball did not hit his eye,” Sands said. “He could have been very seriously injured as a result of that.”
Aron has slight autism and was already afraid of being outside, his mother said.
Four people were arrested following the incident, three of whom are juveniles, and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, according to LAPD Detective Arnold Castellanos.
Two other recent arrests involving paintball guns being fired from cars were made along Figueroa Street, said LAPD South Bureau Chief Phil Tingirides. In one of the cases, the gun resembled an assault rifle, he said.
“We’re highly concerned that we’re going to end up with an officer-involved shooting of somebody who does not have a firearm but yet a paintball gun,” Tingirides said. “When you see the weapons, they look very real. When you hear them…they sound very much like a bullet.”
Officials emphasized that charges will be pursued in such cases, despite compressed-air guns being considered less dangerous than actual firearms. Charges would be based on the amount of bodily harm inflict and could be felony charges, Tingirides said.
Girl found ‘brutally murdered’ at home after texting mother about someone knocking at door
A 12-year-old girl was “brutally murdered” in her house after texting her mother to tell her there was someone knocking at the door.
Yhoana Arteaga was found bludgeoned to death in her family’s mobile home with her clothing “in disarray”, police said.
Detectives believe the killer may have been known to the girl, who was on crutches after being injured roller-skating the previous day, but they have few leads.
There was no evidence of forced entry to the trailer in Nashville, Tennessee.
“This is a horrible, brutal thing. I’ve never seen anything this brutal in my entire career,” said Sergeant David Kautzman, of Nashville Police Department.
Yhoana was last seen by her mother at 12.30pm on August 10. She was left at home alone and sent a text at 5.30pm saying someone was at the door.
She was found dead when her mother returned home from work with two of her other children at 6.45pm.
The girl had suffered blunt force trauma to her body, police spokesman Don Aaron told a press conference. She had not been shot or stabbed.
Despite police appeals investigators said they have “very limited” information to follow up, reported news channel WKRN.
“She was brutally murdered, and if anyone has any information whatsoever that could help in this investigation, please contact us,” Mr Aaron said.
“We believe there are persons in this community who have knowledge of a person who may be responsible for this.
“Please, for the family’s sake, for the sake of this 12-year-old deceased girl, let us know.”
He said the absence of signs of forced entry “would seem to indicate she would know the person responsible”.
“We haven’t confirmed that yet, but it’s a good possibility,” the spokesman added.
Officers have been questioning neighbours about any suspicious activity in the area. A detective said police had some persons of interest but declined to elaborate.
Yhoana’s school, Liberty Collegiate Academy, paid tribute to the “treasured” seventh-grade pupil.
“Our hearts are broken as we mourn the loss,” the school said on Facebook.
“Our thoughts are with Yhoana’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Grief counsellors will be on site at Liberty next week to support teachers and students. We love you, Yhoana.”

White supremacist cries on camera as he describes ‘terror’ over arrest warrant
“Sips white tears”
A white supremacist who helped organise the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, has appeared on camera crying as he describes his fear of arrest.
Chris Cantwell, a racist who previously claimed he and others would “f***ing kill” anti-fascist demonstrators for interfering with their right to express their views, sobs uncontrollably in the clip.
He claims to be the subject of an arrest warrant, and says he is “terrified” of the prospect of being detained.
