EAST LANSDOWNE, Pa. (CBS) — Calling on his upbringing with Catholic nuns, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer didn’t hold back on Friday in describing what a man named Canh Le is alleged to have done to his own family.
“If this man did shoot his family, which is a horrible evil I can’t comprehend,” Stollsteimer said, “then I hope the Sisters of Mercy at Saint Denis taught me the truth and that he is going to spend the rest of his life suffering in hell for what he did.”
Stollsteimer said his investigators believe Canh Le on Wednesday afternoon first shot his niece before possibly shooting the remaining four family members and then setting the home on fire.
They said that account is corroborated by Le’s parents who left the home and called 911.
“There is a small number of people that I’ve encountered in my 10 years as a prosecutor who are just truly evil people,” Stollsteimer said. “And they need to be held accountable, I think our good Lord is holding this man accountable.”
