Man Fatally Shoots His Two Children, Critically Wounds Wife Before Killing Himself
LUTZ, Fla. (AP) - A man fatally shot his two children and critically wounded his estranged wife before killing himself in an apparent domestic dispute, deputies said.
Police said Robert O'Mara, 38, confronted his wife, Patricia Parra-Perez, 40, in front of her home in this Tampa suburb late Friday and shot her with a handgun.

Police said O'Mara then fatally shot his 12-year-old son, Sean, as he was running into the home. He chased down and shot his 13-year-old daughter, Lauren, three buildings away as she tried to get help.

Police said O'Mara then fatally shot himself.

2. "If I can't own you, nobdody can!"

Abusive men are 75% more likely to kill during the breakup or after a woman has left.

Stories like this one remind me why I live with a cat.

7. when my marriage broke up there was a tremendous amount of rage

both ways. However I can't imagine my ex ever taking a gun and killing me. It's not that he didn't shove me around and get violent. It wasn't that he wasn't jelous and possesive, he was.
But to kill me and the kids...nah. There is something else at work here. Society is very sick.

8. "domestic dispute"?! Well isn't that special. Makes it sound

like a little tif over tea and crumpets.

All right, I am not going to go into the rant that just went through my head. I'll just leave this as is.

9. "Dispute" is such a friendly term.

Mild. Dispute doesn't even rank up there with argument or shouting match.
