This is truly sad.  A man from Los Angeles, shot and killed his wife, three sons, mother-in-law and then himself.

Snippet of Article:

It’s “a very tragic scene, total devastation inside this home,” Deputy Chief Michael Moore told reporters at a news conference. “Inside the home, officers discovered six bodies, all belonging to the family that lived at this location.”

It really is sad that he felt this was the way out and all would be better this way.  I’m sure he is not the only one having financial issues with the way the market is crashing and all the other “Bailout” plans and banks falling down, etc. etc.

It’s been a busy week and haven’t had much time to write much so I thought I would do some local shorts for some things that are going on around the area I live.

Irving: In a tragic accident two 18 year old men were cruising along at a high rate of speed on their motorcycles lost control and struck the wall of the overpass they were on and was thrown over and his friend behind him collided with him and was thrown over as well.  Smith was pronounced dead at the scene and Wright was taken to the hospital and later died due to his injuries.

Fort Worth: A man died after he was found on I-30 in Fort Worth last night.  Indications show that he was struck by a car, however there are no witnesses.

Arlington: I think this is bad…  A 23 year old Arlington man (Parks) was sentenced to 10 years PROBATION for the death of a teenager and causing serious injury of during a 2007 DWI collision.  I’m sorry WHAT, Probation only?  Oh but wait, the judge ordered him to 6 months in jail and the probation..  Come on people.  This guy drove drunk and killed someone and gets only 6 months..  Parks Blood-Alcohol level was .15 (almost twice legal limit) - So sad..

NFL - Cowboys: Ok I’m not really a fan but they start the NFL season this Sunday in Cleveland against the Browns.  Go Seahawks..!!!  lol - see I told you I wasn’t a cowboys fan and I can still live here and still cheer for the Seahawks!!!…  =)

So I was cracking up this morning as I was laying in bed watching the news avoiding what I really had to do which was to get up and get ready for work.  I like to procrastinate doing that.

So the news popped on and talked about this lady who’s couch caught fire because she was smoking.  Here is a little part of the news article (nbc5i.com):
“The woman tried to extinguish the fire herself before calling 911. Firefighters said they found her overcome from smoke inhalation and administered CPR before taking her to the hospital in critical condition.”

But here is the really interesting part..  She was smoking while on an oxygen tank.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELLO…  I think she is pretty luckly to be alive and not in a ton of pieces in her living room…

And one last thing, she didnt have a smoke alarm installed so the guy that was renting a room had no idea that there was a problem.
