Gun deaths: Domestic dispute leaves 2 children, 2 adults dead in

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the General Discussion forum).

North Georgia. Here's the report from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Facebook page:

Before 6 a.m. today, deputies responded to a shooting call at a residence on Old Atlanta Road. Upon arrival, deputies located 5 individuals with apparent gunshot wounds.

An adult male, who is believed to be the alleged shooter, was located deceased on scene. Two young children were also found deceased at the scene. An adult male and adult female were transported to an area hospital, and the female later died as a result of her injuries.

The investigation is still on going, however, initial information suggests that this was a domestic related shooting and an apparent murder-suicide. There are no additional suspects at this time.

Breaks my heart that kids die because their parents are irrational.

I'll hazard a guess that only 1 parent was irrational. I know you didn't mean it literally that both parents were irrational but you can see how that reads.

4. Didn't mean to vilify the victim.

I just meant that parents that murder their children are irrational.

Forum Hosts agree, this is a very tragic story but, not appropriate for the General Discussions Forum. We encourage you to post it in the Georgia Group and/or one of the gun groups.

From the SOP for the General Discussions Forum:


GUNS

News stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about efforts to strengthen or weaken gun control legislation in any jurisdiction in the United States, national news stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about high-profile gun crimes, and viral political content from social media or blogs that would likely be of interest to a large majority of DU members are permitted under normal circumstances.

Local stories about gun crime and "gun porn" threads showing pictures of guns or discussing the merits of various firearms are not permitted under normal circumstances and should be posted in the Gun Control and RKBA Group.

Open discussion of guns is permitted during very high-profile news events which are heavily covered across all news media.
