Horrible tragedy
A good friend's 32 year old 8 months pregnant daughter was the victim of an apparent murder/suicide Friday. She and her husband were found shot in the head by his eight year old daughter. The sheriff's office hasn't released a final ruling on their investigation. Please remember my friend and his family in your prayers.

Mojo, What a sad sad event. I don't mean to seem morbid, but am having some difficulty understanding the details.
Did the 8 year old find them, shoot them, or was found murdered with them. I could not discern with the current wording.
We will keep all in our thoughts and prayers!

Sorry, I'm still in shock myself. The 8 year old found the bodies. They were in the same room and a gun was on the floor both were shot in the head.

How devastating! Words would never do it justice. My prayers are with the family, especially that little girl.

Re: Horrible tragedy
What a terrible burden for the child to carry and for the families of the dead. 
I will never understand such things.
Carry each in your most tender embrace, Lord. Give unto them the strength to carry on through this life which can be so difficult. Amen.

Re: Horrible tragedy
All ready a sad situation, but as my daughter is currently 8y I am even more deeply saddened by this. I chokes me up and brings a tear to my eye just thinking about my daughter ever walking in on such a sight. I hope the girl has other family that will be able to help her.
