Christmas Eve massacre leaves 9 dead in Covina

On my way home from Christmas Eve festivities, I saw the helicopters and wondered what the commotion was not far from my Covina neighborhood, only to learn the next morning about the horrible tragedy just a few miles away. Covering basketball games in the Covina tournament felt so meaningless this afternoon, and though this is a high school prep sports blog, our thoughts and prayers are with the families.
