Five family members, including three kids, were found dead in an Ohio home Thursday evening in what police are calling a “domestic dispute that turned deadly,” according to a news release.

The incident is being investigated as a quadruple murder-suicide, police said.

    ~~Oh no. ~~

    The article is short. It names all the members of the family. Based on the names, there appear to be:

    * One adult male
    * One adult female
    * Two teen females (yeah, I’m calling 12 a teen)
    * One male child

    There is no information in the article about which one of the above was the shooter, and all of them are old enough to be able to handle a firearm (although it’s less likely that the male child, aged 9, would have been the shooter).

    Your comments refer to “him” and “this man,” so you must be referring to the adult male. Unless you have some information about this incident that is not stated in the article, you are assuming that you know who the shooter was, where there is no information to support that claim.

    It seems that you want to believe that it must have been the man, because you believe that men are intrinsically violent. Is it more statistically likely, based on past history? Sure. But you cannot apply statistics that way to come to a correct conclusion about an individual incident.

      If you bother to watch the video, it states several times that the father was the shooter. How else would he have shot everyone else than himself otherwise?

      I’m operating based on the facts given, not some social agenda or implicit biases. Get your facts straight.
