http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/28/us-usa-maine-saco-idUSKBN0FX01J20140728?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=twitter(Reuters) - Five members of a family, including three children, were found shot dead at their southern Maine home on Sunday, with a gun located near one of the bodies and no outside involvement suspected, a police spokesman said.
The five, a father and mother in their 30s and three children believed to be 4, 7 and 12, were discovered on Sunday afternoon in three rooms of their second-floor apartment in Saco, about 17 miles (27 km) southwest of Portland, state police spokesman Stephen McCausland said.

And now they have lunatic fringe conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones to whip the crazies into a needless frenzy that "the government is going to take our guns away".

Do some suicidal people feel the need to take innocent people (including their own children) with them?!? Words fail.

I can't understand anyone who kills their own children. I just can't.
