OAKLAND, Calif. -- A 4-year-old boy shot by his father died from his injuries Friday, after being hospitalized for four days. Javier-Francisco Valladolid, a 38-year-old Pittsburg resident, reportedly shot his sister-in-law Graciela Gonzalez Gutierrez, 34, and his son Christian Valladolid in a house in Bay Point. Valladolid then shot himself in the head. Sheriff's deputies found Gutierrez, a Bay Point resident, and Valladolid dead inside the home, according to Contra Costa County Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee. Christian was airlifted to Children's Hospital in Oakland, where he remained in critical condition until Friday. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing domestic dispute between Valladolid and his wife, who had a temporary restraining order against him. Lee said it remains unclear why he shot his sister-in-law. "Unfortunately it's one of those cases where we may never know," Lee said.
