6 killed in home shooting in Santa Clara, Calif.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Six people were shot to death, at least three of them children, and another person was critically wounded in an apparent murder-suicide at an upscale home in Silicon Valley, police said Monday.

The suspect appeared to be among the dead in the apparent "family on family" violence, Lt. Phil Cooke said.

Authorities said a neighbor called police about 8:30 p.m. Sunday to report that a woman was injured outside a townhouse in the Santa Clara community of Rivermark, about seven miles northwest of San Jose, Cooke said.

Officers found five bodies with gunshot wounds when they arrived at the home — a 10-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, a man in his 40s, another man in his 30s and a woman in her early 30s, said Capt. Mike Sellers.

A toddler later died at the hospital. A woman who managed to escape is in her mid-30s and was hospitalized in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds, Sellers said.

4. Something in the water there, or what?

"Cooke said he could recall three other family shootings in the last several years in Santa Clara, a city of about 108,000..."

5. People up there are stressed out over material things, kind of like Orange County

I have a bad feeling this family feud will turn out to have its roots in something incredibly lame, like a teenage kid not wanting to be seen being delivered to school in a car that isn't as nice as the neighbor's kid rides in. Or crown molding.
