I'm with redelitev6,I can see the shooting of the wife and also the suicide,but to kill your own child?So very tragic and needless.

more common than you'd think "family annihilators" (no connection to me).a few years ago whilst on holiday in Shropshire a guy not far away who was in financial trouble systematically went round his large mansion and shot his wife,daughter,dogs and horses then set fire to the garage full of exotic motors and his house then shot himself after barricading the entrance so to delay any fire engines.

All I can find is what a 'lovely guy' the father was.

Weird as well as tragic. :-\

No one ever wants to speak ill of the dead*, don't forget. I know nothing of this case so can't comment, but refer you to this older article and draw your attention to the "lovely rogue" statement...
