“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 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.” (10/06/08)
