Seal Beach shootings were murder, suicide

The fatal shootings of Westminster’s city clerk and a Los Alamitos police captain in Seal Beach on Sunday appear to be a murder and suicide, according to an autopsy report by the Orange County Coroner.

Findings of the inquiry indicate that Capt. Rick Moore, 49, a Seal Beach resident, shot Amanda Jensen, 35, of Garden Grove three times with his own automatic pistol before killing himself with a single shot.

Moore and Jensen reportedly had a relationship marked by domestic violence incidents.

Student health programs expanded

As part of its ongoing efforts to expand school-based mental health services, Garden Grove Unified School District has hired Social Worker Clara D’Agostino to offer on-site support to high-need schools. D’Agostino will oversee a team of interns who are currently pursuing graduate degrees in school social work. D’Agostino and the interns will provide prevention services, on-site counseling and case management for at-risk students at targeted elementary, intermediate, and high schools.

Under the direction of Director of Student Services Dr. Arthur Cummins, D’Agostino will be collecting data to monitor the success of targeted social, behavioral and emotional interventions to help the district improve mental health services for all students.  GGUSD will continue to collaborate with local universities to expand its social work program.
