0

DETROIT (AP) — A 67-year-old grandfather has been
sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole in the killing of
two women at a Detroit retirement home.
Mike Reda of Detroit was
convicted this month of first-degree murder in the October shooting
deaths of 59-year-old Deborah Socia and 61-year-old Maria Gonzalez.
Reda received the mandatory sentence Thursday morning in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Reda
told police he had dated the same woman for several years and the two
victims befriended her and frequently kept his girlfriend away from him.
He said during a videotaped interrogation that he was filled with rage
and alcohol when he shot them with an assault rifle.
Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway called it a "horrible incident." Reda told her he was "sorry
for what happened."
