From the article:

Six children and two adults have been found handcuffed and fatally shot in the head in a Texas home, following the arrest of a man who exchanged gunfire with police.

The gunfire broke out when officers who had been called to the Houston-area home late on Saturday spotted the body of a child and tried to enter.

2. Turns out it was another man who thought women are property

He was the ex boyfriend of the children's mother who didn't think she had the right to break up with him.

Seems like there is far too much of that going on these days.

I am sad and disgusted.

This mofo is so pent up with anger and jealousy that he allowed that anger to kill innocent children and adults.
