Families Testify in Trial Over Hospital Rampage

From Times Staff Reports

The penalty phase started Monday in the trial of a man convicted of a shooting rampage at an Anaheim hospital, with testimony from relatives of the three victims.

“I’ll never understand why this happened,” said Kirk Premo, 32, son of West Anaheim Medical Center nursing assistant Marlene Mustaffa, the first person Dung D. Trinh shot on Sept. 14, 1999.

Mustaffa’s husband, Dave, said she “was a very beautiful woman, very gentle [and] always had something nice to say. She just had a way about her that people loved her.”
