Another Family Massacre -- Missouri
It used to be shocking to read about cases where entire families were murdered; very rare. Over the last 7 months, there have been at least three massacres of families by other family members.
-Ron Haskell executed 6 members of his extended family last July in Texas. He's in jail.
-Cedric Prather shot 6 people earlier this month in Georgia; killing his wife and two of his children in the process. He's dead, self-inflicted at the scene.
Now this.

Thursday, ^ Joseph Jesse Aldridge, 36, shot and killed 7 members of his family in Tyrone, Missouri. In the process of investigating the murders, police discovered Aldridge's mother dead at her home -- they believe she died of natural causes and that may have set off Aldridge (who reportedly had ongoing disputes with some of the cousins he shot dead in the town of 50).
The killer also was found dead Friday morning in a running GMC pickup on the highway more than 15 miles away; he apparently shot himself.
