ROSEVILLE, CA - A 79-year-old Roseville man was taken to the hospital Tuesday after being assaulted by five youths in front of his home on the 900 block of Douglas Boulevard, say police.

Dee Dee Gunther of the Roseville Police Dept. said the man went outside of his home around 12:26 a.m. to ask a group of noisy kids to move along, when the youths charged him, knocked him down and began hitting and kicking him.

Don Viescas, Sr.'s son was working on his truck, just a few feet away, and witnessed the attack.

"He just said keep it down, take it down the street, just take it somewhere else," the victim's son Don Viescas, Jr. said. "They were on my dad and they all got a punch in. They all got a kick in."

He described what one teen did with a river rock from the front yard.

LINCOLN, CA - A former Lincoln middle school teacher took his own life amidst a police investigation into allegations he had a relationship with a female student.

Jared Gonsalves, 27, was found in his Roseville home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest last week, Placer County sheriff's spokesperson Dina Erwin said.

In early January, Lincoln police got a report from Western Placer Unified School District officials that Gonsalves, a Twelve Bridges Middle School teacher, had an inappropriate relationship with a female student last year, Sgt. Terry Kennedy said.

Gonsalves, who taught at the school for the past five years, resigned from his position in January. Police are not releasing the identity of the student because she is a minor.

Daniel Harrison McGrath, 58, admitted to police investigating the April 4, 2012 death of McKinley Wilder that he had images of child pornography on his computers, according to federal court records. A warranted search of McGrath's disconnected computer hard drive and compact discs he made uncovered more than 3,000 images and videos of children and infants in sexually explicit, sadistic and masochistic context, said the U.S. Attorney's Office.
