LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Three young brothers were found stabbed to death in the backseat of a sport utility vehicle parked across from a Los Angeles elementary school on Wednesday, and their father who was found in the front seat with stab wounds is a suspect, police said.
Police Chief Charlie Beck said the boys, ages 8 to 12, were not believed to have attended the school, Dolores Huerta Elementary, in a mostly poor, southern part of the city.
"It is a sad day in Los Angeles, made only slightly better by the fact that we have a probable suspect in custody," Beck told reporters at the scene.
Beck initially declined to say if the man found in the vehicle with stab wounds was the suspect. Los Angeles police spokeswoman Liliana Preciado later said the man was the boys' father and was suspected of stabbing them to death.
