More on that family shooting -- with pictures!
GLENDALE — A 61-year-old man has been jailed without bail after he allegedly shot and stabbed four of his relatives during an argument, and was later subdued when his victims fought back, police said Wednesday.
Police found Valodia Balabekyan of Tujunga pinned by three men and a woman Tuesday morning when they arrived at an apartment on the 500 block of S. Belmont Street, Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday at Glendale Superior Court.
The victims — either uncles or siblings to Balabekyan and resided at the apartment — were shot with a small-caliber handgun. Some also suffered stab wounds and were covered in blood when police arrived. They were treated at area hospitals and were in stable condition.
"Four people get shot, which could've been a horrible situation," Lorenz said. "Amazingly they're alive."
