More details will be released on Tuesday however currently the story indicates that there are

seven bodies -- four female adults and three adult males.

 

They were fatally shot by a man dressed as Santa Claus at a Christmas gathering in their home.

While the CNN story does not mention it, elsewhere it is reported that the shooter shot himself after shooting the victims. It appears the shooter and all victims are related by blood/marriage.

 

Tragic news

This type of story just makes me sick.

Terrible story. Now the remaining family members will most likely never have a good Christmas again, always being reminded of what happened during the Christmas of 2011.

 

What I'm wondering is how they know what the shooter was wearing, and who he was. They didn't give any details about him being caught or finding his body at the scene.

The world's gone mad!

Two hand guns found near bodies - no mention if they were glocks. One of the 7 bodies was the shooter as it was a murder-suicide, hence they know the Santa outfit.

 

very sad. I struggle to understand what can cause someone to take another person's life in this type of way.
