Prospero Serna, who lives in San Bernardino County, has been arrested for murder and child abuse.
A father is under arrest after two of his children were killed and two hospitalized in what investigators term an "attack" at a home in Lancaster.
Now, the sheriff's department says enough evidence has been collected to place Serna under arrest for murder and child abuse. They added that he was not cooperating with deputies, resulting in a delay in his booking process.The night that the department responded, video from the scene showed a physical struggle to detain him, requiring the effort of several deputies to pin him to the ground and place him in custody.
"It's extremely difficult," he added. "This is traumatizing for everybody who's involved. All the deputies who responded, all the parties involved, the investigators, everyone."
