Six killed in LA family murder-suicide

An unemployed man with an advanced finance degree who was despondent over his own financial problems shot and killed his wife, three children, mother-in-law and then himself in an upscale home in a gated community, Los Angeles police said today.

Officers found the bodies yesterday morning after the wife failed to show up at a neighbour’s home to go to work as a pharmacy bookmaker, Deputy Chief Michel Moore said. The deaths occurred sometime after Saturday evening.
