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.

    I don’t remember like any names of stuff like this, but it seems like the general understanding among all the people I’ve ever discussed these topics with is that it’s primarily men who do this shit.

    just chiming in to say anecdotally that maybe people have a better understanding of things now

    what always surprises me, though, is the rates. the US is big, but 1 every 5 days still seems so fucked up to me
