Another Family Dead in Murder Suicide
- Rating: No Rating
WHITEHALL, Ohio (AP) — A family of four was found shot to death in a suburban Columbus home, victims of an apparent murder-suicide committed by the father, police said Thursday.
Sgt. Daniel Kelso said the father left a suicide note but declined to discuss its contents. A gun was found at the scene, he said.
Police identified the victims, found Wednesday, as Mark Meeks, 51; Jennifer Dallas-Meeks, 40; and their children Abbigail, 8, and Jimmy, 5. The children had been home from school Wednesday because of a snow day.
All family members had gunshot wounds, Kelso said.
WCMH-TV in Columbus reported that a neighbor said the father had recently lost his job. Kelso said he didn't know if Meeks was unemployed or if that might have been a factor in the crime.

This just didn't start happening. There are more cases than the media shows. It's more common than you know.
The media is now focusing because it's not joe the plumber that's going home and blowing everyone away. It's Bill the Billionaire now.

IDK what's wrong with these people and their beliefs this is just crazy. Reminds me of them thinking that having sex with young girls cures them of aids. That mentality is definitely from the dark ages. SMMFH

Great post OG! I especially love the last paragraph. That's not just when you're trying to get to the next level with a baller, but with any men. If you are reaching just to get him to be exclusive to you, you are failing.
She needs to chill...
good info but im not a groupie, hoe, or looking for a baller...i have found love with a 'regular' guy lol
Attention ladies, please read the following questions carefully.
1. Are you’re a bad chick that has no problem landing a baller but it seems to never go past the dating stage?
2. Do ballers flock to you rather easily but don’t want anything se...
