Jesus, what a mess.
CAMDEN (CBS 3) ― A man fatally shot four people before turning the gun on himself during an apparent domestic dispute inside a Camden home Monday evening, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s office.
Couldn’t this bastard just kill himself and leave the innocents alone? Frakkin’ coward.
Officers were called to the 1400 block of Princess Avenue after reports of gunfire at about 5 p.m.
Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Jason Laughlin said a 54-year-old man shot and killed three females, ages 33, 57 and 81, as well as a 33-year-old man before shooting himself once in the head.
The gunman and the 57-year-old female were taken to Cooper University Hospital where they were pronounced dead. All other victim’s died at the scene.
Officials said two children, ages 7 and 10, escaped to a neighbor’s home without injury.
Thank God for that!
The shooter and the victims were all apparently related. Their names have not yet been released. (H/T – CBS3)
Hopefully, this man is rotting in Hell right now. What a terrible day for this family.

A tragedy for the 2 children for sure. When people snap carnage always follows.

When things get bad… really bad? What makes you think picking up a gun and shooting people is going to make you feel better?

It is a tragedy for the innocent victims and the children.
I agree. I hope he is rotting in Hell as we speak.

I’ve always wondered why these wastes of protoplasm don’t just off themselves without taking the innocent with them.

Wyatt,
I can never understand why it is if someone really wants to off themselves, why do they have to wipe out the whole family in the process?…..just go out in the desert and take care of the problem without involving everyone else in your drama……

I think a lot of the time, “the killer” is so messed up in the head that they just want others to hurt like them, especially if it is a mental snap. Other times, it is just plain evil that has them and that’s what makes them able to commit such heinous acts of violence.
That poor family, and those poor, poor children. As if things weren’t hard enough for them trying to survive Camden, but this? Sad.
