LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A man distraught because he could not find work shot and killed his mother-in-law, his wife and three sons and then killed himself inside a home in an upscale San Fernando Valley neighborhood, police said.
That is so sad. When I was a kid we had something like that happen just blocks away. A guy who had lost his job and was losing his house just snapped. He called his kids in sick to school then put bags over their heads (they were like 9 and 7 and the 7yo had disabilities). Then he bludgeoned his wife to death before setting the house on fire while still inside.
They lived across the street from a high school and a girl there saw the smoke and they called 911. The guy survived. The 9yo little girl was actually a classmate and friend of my next door neighbor (my best friend). She went to the same school my kids go to now. It was really sad that he saw killing his family and himself as the only way out.
I was so heartbroken when I heard this this morning. :(
AW Truely devastating and sooo sad im crying poor family never saw it comeing :(
I am afraid there are a lot of families out there who are in the same boat, so to speak. I hope they choose a different path.
Sad.. bump.
that is absolutely insane.
So, they lived in a gated community.... was it his problem, that living with us unwashed masses, worse than death?
