The bodies were found Friday inside the Grand Haven residence, police said, and the children were 5 to 15 years old.
A man fatally shot his wife and their six children before he set the Michigan home they shared ablaze and turned the gun on himself, authorities said Monday.
Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, killed his wife, Amanda, 39, and their children, ages 5 to 15, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Capt. Jake Sparks said at a news conference.
They were found dead after first responders arrived at the home in Grand Haven, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, late Friday morning, Sparks said. Autopsies showed all had been shot, he said.
So like. What happened right before this? I’m not trying to justify it I’m just genuinely curious.
Was this just a crazy man who finally snapped? A crazy man pushed too far by outside influence? A spur of the moment murder suicide?
Outside of mental issues I’m not really coming up with many ideas on how this shit occurs
Seems like he was essentially the sole breadwinner and lost his job.
Oh boy the USA really is some shithole if people are offing themselves (and others) over something trivially as loosing a job.
Also, if this one job is the thread at which everything hangs, why even make children? So they can enjoy the same poor life? Awesome.
I’m pretty much an antinatalist, so I don’t get it either. But a lot of people are on the Life Script™ and don’t really think about this.
Amen to that. I can downvote you, if you want, so it feels more natural saying those things 😁
