The bodies were found Friday inside the Grand Haven residence, police said, and the children were 5 to 15 years old.
A man fatally shot his wife and their six children before he set the Michigan home they shared ablaze and turned the gun on himself, authorities said Monday.
Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, killed his wife, Amanda, 39, and their children, ages 5 to 15, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Capt. Jake Sparks said at a news conference.
They were found dead after first responders arrived at the home in Grand Haven, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, late Friday morning, Sparks said. Autopsies showed all had been shot, he said.
“Amanda Karolkiewicz was a substitute teacher” as someone who substitutes while unemployed I can say it does not help much. They make it sound nice but more than likely she would have liked a full time position. No mention of the fathers job situation. It could be the typical thing but with the us having dumped on what few bits of help low income people have I kinda wonder.
