The murder-suicide at North Park Elementary has claimed another victim: An 8-year-old special needs student.
Jonathan Martinez, 8, was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, Monday morning where he later died of his injuries following the shooting.
Cedric Anderson, 53, of Riverside came to the elementary school shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Monday, officials say.
“He simply said he was there to drop something off there with his wife,” San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a Monday afternoon news conference.
He went to his wife’s classroom. Karen Elaine Smith was there with an aide and 15 special-needs students between first and fourth grades, according to Burguan.
