Three men looted an Ontario home, kidnaping and raping three females they found there, killing a teen-age girl and stabbing the other two before abandoning them, authorities said. The men--described only as Hispanics in their 20s--entered the house about 2:15 a.m. Sunday, Ontario Police Sgt. Philip Cooper said. One of the three rape victims, a girl about 15 years old, was shot to death, and the other two were stabbed, Detective Jim Harris said. Their identities were not immediately disclosed. The victims were abandoned in an industrial area in the southeast section of Ontario and police learned of the crime about 4:30 a.m. Sunday, Cooper said. One of the victims was hospitalized and the other was treated and released, authorities said.
