6 die in family murder-suicide in upscale LA home
By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer 10 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES - An unemployed man with an advanced finance degree who was despondent over his own financial problems shot and killed his wife, three children, mother-in-law and then himself in an upscale home in a gated community, police said Monday.
Officers found the bodies Monday morning after the wife failed to show up at a neighbor's home to go to work, Deputy Chief Michel Moore said. The deaths occurred sometime after Saturday evening.
A handgun that had been bought Sept. 16 was found near the father's body, Moore said. The father left two suicide notes - one for police and one for friends and relatives - and a will.
The notes attest to the man's financial difficulties, and he takes responsibility for killing his family members, Moore said.
The family members' names were not immediately released because police wanted to make sure the children's schools had time to make grief counselors available. The children were sons ages 19, 12 and 7.
The man had a master's of business administration in finance, formerly worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and Sony Pictures, but had been unemployed for several months, Moore said.
Moore did not specify what financial trouble the man had been in. He noted that the family did not own the home.
PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesman Steven Silber had no immediate comment. Sony Pictures Entertainment spokesman Steve Elzer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The gated community, called Sorrento Pointe, is among several developments along curving lanes and cul-de-sacs set on the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains in Porter Ranch, about 23 miles northwest of downtown.
Ryan Ransdell, who lives across the street, said the house had been occupied by the family for about a year.
"They didn't socialize too much," he said. "They kept pretty much to themselves."

Y'know, as much as suicide SUCKS, if you wanna off yourself, that's your own goddamn business, but why the FUCK are you going to take your entire family with you, huh? What, is it "If I'm going to hell, better to not go alone" or some shit?! Ye gods!! It's people like THAT fuck-tard that make me want to bitch-slap them.
Yeah, so things aren't going so great financially. WELCOME TO THE WORLD WHERE THE REST OF US POOR PLEBIANS DWELL!! You know what? (speaking to the moron:) Your family could have had a least a chance to find a way to get back on their feet. Just because YOU'D given up doesn't mean the rest of your family had. What, you think that you were SAVING them from something? You pompous-assed jerk!!!! How dare you?!
I can and have sympathized with people who have committed suicide, believe me. I've been close to it myself. But you know what? Suicide, regardless of the situation (for the most part; I can TOTALLY see why some older people dying of a debilitating disease that has them in constant pain that the meds don't even TOUCH anymore would want to do that), is selfish enough of an act as it is. But to kill everyone in your family first, INCLUDING your friggin' MOTHER-IN-LAW?! What, is he going for the gold here or something?! Is there an Asshole Award that I'm not aware of?! WTF, dude?!
I have zilch patience or sympathy for people like that. Yeah, I don't know the full extent of his situation, but you know what? I don't give a damn. There is NOTHING that could excuse what he did. To me, suicide isn't the unforgivable sin. Murder-suicide is. It's just so damn heartless and stupid. >.
