Teacher and her 2 children killed by father

So tragic. A man who had a restraining order that was supposed to keep him away from his wife and kids broke into their house today in Dexter and killed them all. A police officer went to check on the family after the school said the teacher and the kids hadn't shown up to school and interrupted the plan. There was a police standoff and they found gas or other accelerant splashed all over the house.

Re: Teacher and her 2 children killed by father

  • so sad :( I have been looking for the updates all day.  It's one thing that he killed his ex (awful and unthinkable still) but to kill the kids is beyond mind boggling.
  • This is horrible.  Apparently the dad had held them at gunpoint last June and was awaiting trial.

    My heart aches for this family.

    Yeah really. Apparently they expected a lousy piece of paper that says "Restraining Order" to keep a lunatic like this away. WTF. 

  • Oh my god.....just heart breaking...

    So awful. Restraining orders do nothing to help people when they are sick and want to follow thru with something. That is so devastating.

    Agreed.  It's horrific. 

  • :( Heartbreaking. 
  • In a turn of cruel irony - turns out that the mother and daughter ran/walked with one of my former co-workers in Oct in "A Race to End Domestic Abuse"
