Sad Christmas for this family. RIP (save the shooter). 'Tis a shame gun laws are so lax... had it been another method he chose to suddenly end things with he might have succeeded in getting one or two people, but the others could have fled, called for help, etc. Yet again, another mass shooting in the good 'ole USA.

While I'm no fan of guns and think there's no good reason to have them other than in the sporting arena, I think the issue here goes much deeper. I just don't understand why people who feel that they want to end it all want to take other people with them. If you've had enough of life, go see a professional councilor. Don't take your gun and blow your family away. Nobody deserves that. This type of news, though it seems to be repeated over and over again, never stops making me feel sad for those innocent men, women and children who pay the ultimate price for someone else's self-absorption. My condolences to the surviving family and friends of these people.

Looks like the case has been solved

"By Domingo Ramirez and Aman Batheja

""GRAPEVINE --

A conflicted picture emerged Tuesday of a Colleyville man believed to have fatally shot six people, including his estranged wife and two children, and then himself on Christmas morning. One woman who was part of a happy hour group that included

Aziz "Bob" Yazdanpanah

described him as a sweet joker who adored his family. ""

"""But another said she received a puzzling text message from him on Dec. 4, a few months after his wife and two children moved out of their Colleyville home and into a Grapevine apartment complex.

"""The shootings occurred inside the apartment amid opened Christmas gifts, police said. The message, the friend said, went like this: "What do u call a guy who's born in Austin and grows up in Dallas and then dies in Grapevine? ......... DEAD."""
