Man fatally shoots wife and her parents before killing himself in Ocean County, N.J.

https://whyy.org/articles/berkeley-township-ocean-county-new-jersey-murder-suicide-four-dead/

According to the office, officers saw Vaughn Stewart entering the residence and then heard additional gunfire inside. When police went inside, the officers found the Russells shot to death and Vaughn Stewart dead after shooting himself in the head, prosecutors wrote. Three children were found unharmed inside the house.

The Russells are a Jamaican family.
Now thanks to this monster three children have no mother, no maternal grandparents and a father who killed himself.
Selfish ignorance is never bliss.

Wiped out his own family in an instant.
How selfish and enraged do you have to be to plan and execute this?

and I fervently hope they find a safe and nurturing home to grow up in.

This happened only a few miles from my home.
