According to an LASD release, deputies were dispatched to the 1800 block of East Avenue J-2 shortly before midnight on Saturday after a call came in alleging children were being harmed at the location.
“Upon arrival, deputies contacted a female adult and conducted a check of the location,” the LASD release said. “Deputies found four children under the age of ten suffering from lacerations to their bodies.”
A person of interest was detained; he was identified by police as Prospero Serna, who is the biological father of all of the victims, LASD said.

"The call stated children were being harmed at the location," a news release said. Upon arrival, the deputies contacted a woman, conducted a search and found four children in one bedroom "suffering from lacerations to their bodies," the sheriff's statement said.
The victims, all under the age of 10, were transported to a hospital, authorities said. Two of them were pronounced dead at the facility, and the other two were listed in stable condition with injuries that were not life-threatening.
"We don't know where exactly the attack occurred, but they were all found in one bedroom," said Lt. Daniel Vizcarra with the Sheriff's Department.
"It's extremely difficult," he added. "This is traumatizing for everybody who's involved. All the deputies who responded, all the parties involved, the investigators, everyone."
