Four children were left orphaned after losing their mother and father in separate incidents. Gadi Schwartz reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. on Monday, July 13, 2015. (Published Tuesday, Jul 14, 2015)
Tragedy struck twice in less than one month for four children who lost their mother last week in a hiking accident.
Adrian Cardona, the father of the woman's four children, was killed Monday night after a dispute with a woman at a bar in San Bernardino, police said. Police were investigating the cause of the shooting.
Police said they could not release a description of the shooter and had not made any arrests.
The children's mother, Anna L. Santana, 34, died July 6 when ice and rocks fell inside of ice caves in Washington state.
The accident happened when Santana, from Moreno Valley, went on a hiking excursion on a remote mountainside in Washington. Three people were also injured during that accident.
Investigators said they were following up on leads in the shooting of Cardona. Police found a handgun at the scene of the shooting, but said the caliber does not match bullet that killed Cardona.
