Man shoots his four kids, then himself

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- A man killed five people, including three of his children, before fatally shooting himself Saturday morning, and a fourth child was in the hospital with life-threatening wounds, police said.

The man killed one woman around 8:30 a.m., then went to another home and shot his longtime girlfriend, their four children and himself, Capt. Rich Lockhart said.

Police did not immediately identify the shooter or the women. Relatives identified the shooter's girlfriend as Shanika King, who was in her 30s.

The slain children were a 1-year-old boy, 11-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, police said. An 8-year-old boy was in critical condition.

Witnesses identified the first victim, a woman in her mid-30s, as the shooter's cousin, Lockhart said. The woman's son told police a man came to the door and asked to see his mother. The boy said he heard a "pop," but thought it was fireworks.

After the man left, the boy found his mother had been shot and went to a neighbor's house to call police, Lockhart said.

About 15 minutes later, police received a call from a woman who said her son-in-law had called her to say he had shot her daughter and grandchildren.

The man's body was found in the kitchen with a revolver nearby, police said. King and the youngest child were found dead in a bed, and the girl was found in a different bedroom. The 8-year-old and 11-year-old boys were found in the basement.

All had been shot, police said.

Two of the couple's other children had spent the night at their grandmother's house, said King's aunt, Janna Walker, who lives nearby in the neighborhood of low- to middle-income, single-family homes, about five miles east of downtown Kansas City.

The WORST thing about these events, child molesting and paedophilia is that they are ever INCREASING thru the years esp brought about the most unsuspected people in society: managers, priests, family DADS, relatives, etc.!!! Ponder people ponder!!
