Army thinks man killed girls 4, 9, and then himself
San Antonio Express-News : January 23, 2014

The Army said late Wednesday a man likely killed two girls, one 4 years old, and then himself in a home on Fort Hood.

Few details were available, including the victims' names and how they were murdered, but the Army's Criminal Investigation Command said the incident occurred after his wife returned from an overseas deployment.

“Although a final determination has not been made and the investigation is continuing, early indications are the deaths are possibly the result of a tragic murder-suicide involving the husband and the two children,” a brief command release stated.

The bodies were found Tuesday morning in a residence in Fort Hood's Pershing Park neighborhood. The husband, a civilian, was 43. The woman's older daughter was 9.

Either way it's a shitty, cowardly small thing to do.
