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.

Men love the thrill of the chase (make the guy chase a little longer next time). Take it as a learning experience. He may be sincere or he may be telling you what you want to hear (false hope). Hopefully you'll come out on top the next time around...
