Murder-suicide in central FL. My brother-in-law worked with him

[Roland99]

He’d apparently recently purchased a gun and suspected his wife was having an affair

My brother-in-law said that topic had never come up and he’d even brought his kids into work before. Seemed a nice guy

There was no evidence of a struggle. Haines City is southwest of Orlando.

Mark Joseph, 43, had called 911 and told dispatchers that he had shot his wife and children, police said. He then told the dispatcher that he intended to shoot himself and that the door would be unlocked.

Responding officers and deputies said they Marie Joseph, 43, lying on a couch with her husband in a nearby chair. Darren Joseph, 18, and Markus Joseph, 14, were found in their respective beds.

All four had gunshot wounds to the head, investigators said. Marie Joseph had also been shot in the shoulder.

1. The sad thing is we'll probably see more of these as these lockdowns drag on.

2. What a dipshit. Bad enough he killed the wife, why'd he kill the two almost grown sons too. Nt

3. In his twisted mind

he thinks he is "saving" them. From the fallout of his murdering their mother, from being separated from each other (1 is 18 the other 14) Maybe he was mad at them too, if they defended their Mom (turned against him.)
