Sad story about a wife possibly killing her 3 kids and herself while injuring her husband after a day at the waterpark. Looked like the perfect family. Not a lot of details yet as they are still investigating to see what the motive might have been. Very sad

Okay - this sounds too weird - he left is kids there with their mother who was shooting a gun? And he ran off? I would think a father would try to save his children. I think there will be more to this soon.

Sounds weird to me. What kind of a chicken sh#t dad would run away leaving his kids behind? I don't care what is going on around me I would never abandon my children, leaving them behind. I would stay and fight or die trying to save them.

What goes through my mind is he probably did the killing, shot himself in the leg, and told police she did it. Even though they say he isn't a suspect that scenario sounds more believable.

Nope, somethings not right.... As pointed out, what kind of a man runs away knowing his wife is holding a gun and could endanger their children...you fight for your child's safety or you die trying.....

And he's got a 'minor' gunshot wound to the leg? Yeah b/c he shot himself as an after thought and was too scared to actually hurt himself....

O.k. I thought this was strange to. I mean she's seemed to be
happy to all of her family and neighbors. Something fishy is going
on here. And if she'd shot him and hit him in the leg don't you think
she'd got out to finish the job i mean he's saying she meant him harm.
Somethings definetly strange.

This is the first time I've heard them say who aledgedly did the shooting. Every article I've read hasn't said.

Yeah something totally wrong with that. He gets out to tie luggage and she kills everyone I doubt it.

What a tragedy, no doubt in my mind that the dad did it, probably shot the wife 1st while she was sleeping then turned on the children. If she was shooting she wouldn't have aimed for his thigh, she would have gone for something more vital.
