A Riverside County, California man found guilty of killing three teenage boys who played ding-dong ditch at his house in 2020 was sentenced to life in prison.

Anurag Chandra, 45, was found guilty in April of three counts of attempted murder and three counts of first-degree murder.

FOX 40 in Sacramento reported that Chandra was sentenced to life in prison last Friday.

On Jan. 19, 2020, a group of teenage boys were dared to ring Chandra’s doorbell, and they followed through with the dare.

Chandra testified that one of the boys flashed his buttocks, or mooned him, before fleeing the scene.

The prank caused Chandra, who drank a 12-pack of beer that day, to become "extremely, extremely mad." He also said he was worried about the safety of his family.

Chandra grabbed the keys to his vehicle and got behind the wheel, so he could follow the boys, who fled in a Toyota Prius.

Officials said Chandra chased the six teenagers down on Temescal Canyon Road. He then rear-ended and sideswiped the Prius until they drove off the road and slammed into a tree.

Officials also said was going up to 99 miles per hour during the pursuit.

After the vehicle crashed into a tree, Chandra fled. During testimony, Chandra said he did not plan to crash into the boys’ car, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. He also said he did not stop because he did not believe anyone was injured in the crash.

As a result of the crash, Daniel Hawkins and Drake Ruiz, both from Corona, and Jacob Ivascu, of Riverside, all of whom were 16-years-old, died.

The driver, who was 18 years old, and two 13-year-old passengers survived.

Chandra was previously accused of a domestic violence incident in 2020 before the fatal crash.

Chandra was arrested on Jan. 20, 2020 and has been in custody at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside since his apprehension.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby launched an impassioned defense of abortion funding for service members and their families on Monday, pounding the podium of the White House press briefing room as he called military access to abortion a "foundational, sacred obligation."

The instance occurred when Kirby was asked by a reporter during the daily White House press briefing, what about the Pentagon's controversial policy for it to use taxpayer funds to reimburse the cost of travel and care related to abortions was "critical to military readiness."

"Our policies, whether they're diversity, inclusion, and equity or whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify physically and mentally, deserve to be able to [serve] with dignity. Or whether it's about female service members – one in five – or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve," Kirby said.

"That is a foundational, sacred obligation of military leaders across the river. I've seen it myself. And it matters because it says we're invested in you, because you are being willing to invest in us. You're investing your life, your family's livelihood with us. We owe you that back in return," he said.

Kirby argued that anyone who signs up to serve – and potentially lose their lives while serving – has "every right" to expect the military to "take care" of them, regardless of "who you are, who you love, or how you worship or don't."

He described meeting an all female group of service members and spouses who he said told him that abortion restrictions being passed in states across the country were "absolutely having an effect on their willingness to continue serving in uniform or to encourage or discourage, in this case, their spouses from continuing service."

"So if you don't think there's going to be a retention and a morale issue, think again, because it's already having that effect," Kirby said, adding that he has a son and son-in-law currently serving in the Navy who love serving, but don't get to serve where they choose and have to follow orders on where to go and what to do. 

"You go where you're told. That's the way orders work. You go where you're assigned. You don't get to choose. And so what happens if you get assigned to a state like Alabama, which has a pretty restrictive abortion law in place, and you're concerned about your reproductive care, what do you do? Do you say no and get out?" he said.

Kirby said service members being faced with that option and choosing to leave meant the military was losing talent and making an already tough recruiting environment worse.

"It can have an extremely, extremely significant impact on our recruiting and retention. Not to mention it's just the right darn thing to do for people that raise their hand and agree to serve in the military," he added.

Kirby's comments come as the debate over military funding for abortions continues to be waged in Congress, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., holding firm to his commitment to block all top military promotions and nominations as long as the Pentagon's abortion policy remains in place.
