Another tragic example of the complete and utter failure of domestic violence restraining orders. The San Diego cops are not giving much information but it is known that five people are dead, including both parents and three children.
A 911 call was made to the residence but the line was left open. Dispatchers could hear a person (presumably the 29-year old wife) telling another person (presumably the 31-year old husband) to leave the residence. Cops were dispatched. While they were enroute the cops got another call, from a neighbor, who heard a loud argument and what sounded like gunshots.
The cops believe the husband-father shot the wife and their three children then killed himself.
I am not knocking restraining orders. I am saying that depending on one to protect you is not smart. If a person is enough of an asshole that you need to file a restraining order against them they are enough of an asshole to ignore the restraining order.

Most restraining orders aren't worth the paper they are written on. In Texas, a NO TRESPASSING sign has more authority.
Good thing she didn't have a gun. She might have hurt that guy.
