PHOENIX — A 911 recording released by a southern Arizona sheriff’s department captures a woman pleading for help after assailants broke into her home and fatally shot her husband and 9-year-old daughter.
The mother can be heard crying out in pain from a gunshot wound she received in the May 30 attack at her home in rural Arivaca. As she politely begs a dispatcher to send help quickly, 31-year-old Gina Marie Gonzalez becomes frantic as the attackers return.
The sound of at least nine gunshots is heard as Gonzalez engages in a gunbattle with intruders.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department last week arrested a woman and two men in connection with the attack.
The suspects are members of a small anti-illegal immigration group that sought cash or drugs to fund border watch operations, police say.
The intruders dressed as police officers when they broke into the home about 1 a.m., police say.
The slain father, 29-year-old Raul Junior Flores, was believed to be involved with drug trafficking, police say.
Gonzalez says on the recording that her daughter, Brisenia Flores, was crying before the assailants shot her in the head.
Police say Gonzalez shot and wounded one of her alleged attackers, 34-year-old Jason Eugene Bush of Meadview in northwestern Arizona.
