That's absolutely horrible. :('
Alan, That's horrible. I hope your wife is ok.
I saw the headline....that is horrible. I hope your wife is ok.

Terrible news, and worse that your wife has to deal with it. My wife taught for 33 years, and while she didn't have anything like that, she's seen some pretty bad/sad stuff, so I have an inkling of what a teacher has to go through...
She was just balling watching the 6 o'clock news :crying: :console: I'm not sure what I can say...
Omg Alan! My heart goes out to her and to you.
Man that's rough. Hope she's ok. And everybody else at the school.
Was that related to that emergency alert broadcast on the cell phones last night?

No apparently not...All we know...Is that the Dad (who never contacts the school) called the kids in absent at 8am. The news said he also did not show up for work himself. The police did not get called until 11pm and the kids were already dead....Now the Mom was rumoured to be away on vacation, so it's only speculation, but it's thought to believe when she got home, she called 911.....but nobody knows the details for sure. It's also thought that the two boys were suffocated....That's pretty personal way to kill your own child.
That is tragic, sorry she was exposed to part of that, also sorry for her other students.... More so for the boys who were murdered....
How could a father do such a thing.... Insane....
Evil never sleeps.... Horrible to hear this.
More updated story...

I can't comprehend that...doing it once is horrible....then still be able to do it again. Just incomprehensible.
There is nothing you can say, so say nothing. Just be there when she needs you and listen.
I worked in a homicide unit for a few years and this happened once in our area, Thousand Oaks. Dad stabbed his young son and daughter to death (like 80 plus stabs each), then took pills to end his own life peacefully. As if that wasn't bad enough, he planned it so that his ex wife would discover her dead kids as a final FU to her. She did.
We knew from the investigation that he killed the son first and it probably took a bit of time because there were signs of a terrific struggle by the 8 year old kid. The thing that always haunted me was the 10 year old daughter had a hand drawn picture on the outside of her bedroom door with the words, "I love my daddy." That SOB had to push that door open, seeing that picture, so that he could go in there and butcher his second innocent child in probably one of the most horrible ways a human being could die. I can't even imagine what was going through those kids minds before the end finally came. That whole incident was hands down the most miserable time in my career by a factor of at least 100.
Hearing this new story reminded me of something I would gladly pay money to forever forget. I recall doing interviews of friends and family and for many of them, we had to break the news and witness their grief stricken reactions. I imagine your wife must have felt like she got run over by a truck when she heard. That is one of those bad memories she will always carry thanks to some evil bastard who simply wanted to cause as much pain to others as he could.
:andyangel:
Nothing to add :tired:
Unreal... how awful, I cannot imagine what goes through a persons head to do such a thing...
I am sure your wife is having a tough time, I don't know what I would do.
She just left for work dreading what the day will be like. Yesterday all the teachers of that school were NOT allowed to even mention what had happened to the students. By law they could not talk to the kids until the Police had officially released info....However my wife teaches 12-13 year olds....they're not dumb...they're on their phones they know what's happened....after recess they come to class bawling and my wife has to figure out how to console them without really talking about what happened :looney:
Today will be a different story. The police released the info late yesterday afternoon, so the school sent out emails to everyone...meaning there's no doubt that my wife will have to explain and console 27 kids all day and not break down herself. It's one thing if a child dies in a car accident or of cancer....but to be murdered by their Father....how do you explain that....
I don't envy her...
My heart goes out to your wife and to everyone involved. Just horrible
Your poor wife, I can't begin to imagine what she's going through. :(
So sad. So scary to know that evil comes in all shapes, sizes and forms. Prayers for all effected by this tragedy.

Omg horrible. I love my kids more than I love my own life. What drives these things? Alan, prayers aloft for your wife. My wife also has 33 years of teaching. I just can't imagine.

Thank you...My wife is around 25 years now....loves it !
Being married to a teacher you understand the crap they put up with on a daily bases....I can't imagine what all of the teachers at this school are dealing with today...
Sorry to hear this Alan.
Obviously comfort her now but keep the eye open for a long time.
Talk and talk and talk some more. Most of what you will be doing will be listening...
Yes it is an unbelievable tragedy.
We had a mom with 2 small boys live in condo next to us. She killed her boyfriend at home and then drove her 2 kids out to see her father. They visited for an hour then she abruptly left with them. Both kids strapped in car seats. Both suffocated. Which meant one watched it go down...
She then shot herself.
Never makes sense. If it did it would not happen.
What a tragedy. I don't know what to say. :andyangel:
