^ Turns out, the shooter in post 69 (Haskell) did not kill his immediate family. He killed his sister-in-law, her husband, and four of their five kids. One teen survived.

Suspect -- Ronald Lee Haskell, 33.
Fatal Victims -- Stephen Stay, 39; Katie Stay, 33; their two boys, ages 4 and 14; and two of their girls, ages 7 and 9; RIP. Also pictured: the lone survivor 15-year-old, Cassidy Stay.
Haskell's wife, Melanie, had moved from Utah to Texas to get away from him. He was a domestic abuser; she had a protective order out on him and had filed for his divorce. His increasingly aggressive and erratic behavior scared the shit outta his wife and her sister.
So, the now-dead sister went to Utah and helped her sister and the Haskells' kids get moved to Texas where they'd hoped she'd be safe.
Well, Haskell went looking for his wife and children and started with his sister-in-law's house.
Prosecutors said in court that Haskell posed as a FedEx delivery man (he formerly worked for Fed Ex), tied up his in-laws in their home, placed them face-down and shot each of them in the head when they wouldn't tell him where his wife was located.
He was charged with capital murder on Thursday in connection with the six deaths. He collapsed in court. Fifteen-year-old daughter, Cassidy, survived but was critically injured. Cassidy had played dead and called 911 when Haskell left her family's home. Were it not for her, more people would likely have been killed.
Another one who should have been in jail or a psych ward and shouldn't have had gun privileges in any case.
