The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office said 45-year-old Nicolas Holzer was booked into jail on four counts of murder and is being held without bail.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the house in Goleta, a town of about 30,000 residents some 10 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, just after 11 p.m. on Monday, Kelly Hoover, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office, said in a statement. Holzer had phoned 911, she said, "and in a calm and matter of fact manner told a dispatcher that he had killed his family, which included his parents, two sons and the family dog." He was taken into custody without incident, after which officers found the four victims and an Australian Shepherd-type dog, all deceased, each suffering from multiple stab wounds.
"Sheriff's deputies recovered two large kitchen knives that are believed to be the murder weapons," Hoover added.
Comment: In an ideal world every child would be welcomed. But the world as it is is the complete opposite of ideal. The arrogance of these organizations telling a woman they are required (is there no other term for it) to carry every pregnancy to term, regardless of their personal situation, then stalking them to make sure it happens, is breath-taking. Roe v Wade set it out: Whether or not to continue a pregnancy is a personal decision between a woman and her doctor. No one else.
