Gunman dressed as Santa fatally shoots 7 people in Texas home

Grapevine police investigate the scene where they found seven people dead outside Dallas in Grapevine, Texas, Sunday, Dec. 25, 2011.

Four women and three men who police believe to be related were found apparently shot to death, and authorities said they believe the shooter is among the dead.

Six members of a Texas family apparently opened Christmas presents just before a relative dressed as Santa Claus showed up, opened fire and killed them before killing himself, police said Monday.

Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling said the shooter showed up in the Santa outfit shortly before gunfire erupted and was a member of the family.

They found four women and three men, aged 18 to 60, dead. A motive for the shootings remains unclear.

“It appears they had just celebrated Christmas. They had opened their gifts,” Grapevine Police Sgt. Robert Eberling said Sunday, adding that the apartment was decorated for the holiday, including a tree.

Jose Fernandez, a 35-year-old heavy equipment mechanic who moved to the complex with his family about six months ago, said he always felt safe in the area, but is now afraid to let his 10-year-old son play freely outside.

I just watched a report on television about those involved. It was sickening leftist spin as they tried to characterize these Islamofascists as "good" Americans.

One of the Muzzies owned a dude ranch (probably hoping to seem like a real Texan) and the liberal reporter went to great lengths to state that they welcomed returning troops home at the airport. If so, the likely reason they did that was out of glee that Obama is ceding the Middle East to the Mohammedans.

The Mooselimbs infecting our country are the enemy within. Deport them all! NOW!

I made a simple and truthful comment then gave some accurate advice.

Then you read all the crap in your post from that?

Speaking of needing a thicker skin look in the mirror ‘lil fella.

As to not commenting I read numerous threads without making a comment. Maybe I don’t have an undeserved and overinflated ego like you do. Report me to the Mods if you don’t like it and work on that thicker skin and doing less whining.

I know, anything said about Texas you perceive as derogatory, causes you to throw a tantrum. Ferrrget the mass murder on Christmas! You got your feeling hurt!

This is nothing new for you and a few others around these parts. That thin hide must be causing you much discomfort.

I don’t think so. He went by the name “BOB” instead of a Muslim name. He is dressed in a western suit and tie.

Sounds like a marriage break up that he could not endure.

All or most foreigners, aside from Mehico, generally assume American sounding names when it benefits them.

That would be the understatement of the year.

The family ... the wife and children were exchanging presents at Christmas. Let’s go easy on these people. There is nothing here to suggest this is from Islam.

This happened a couple of years ago here in So Cal. Do you remember the guy who dressed up as Santa and attempted to [and was largely successful]in burning his ex-wife’s relatives at a Christmas party?

He was inadvertantly burned as well and drove to Sylmar and killed himself instead of escaping.

It happens.

What? lol...

I posted this thread and multiple people immediately started making jokes about this brutal mass murder, complete with pics. So many, I thought maybe I should have posted it in Humor/Cartoon section.

Start from the beginning and see for yourself.

With the limited info being released I think it was an honor killing.

Yeah, when I saw RWGinger's #10 that stated "the daughter had been dating someone without the father knowing", I thought honor killing before I even knew they were muslim.

It certainly wouldn't be the first honor killing in the Dallas area.

Charles E. Sellier Jr., the director of ‘Silent Night Deadly Night’ later became a Born Again Christian and went on to make a bunch of Faith related documentaries. He died earlier this year.

Do you ever post ANYTHING truthful?

You certainly make Justin Bieber appear manly.

Now put the beer down and do something productive like getting some skin grafts to try to toughen up.

Notice they left out the telling parts of the video interview in the article. If the father and mother had to be with the teen daughter when she was at work, you know something isn't right. One claimed she was being harassed but sounds more like he was overly strict. Maybe he couldn't handle the women folk were becoming too Americanized with the daughter working and could be the harassment was more of her interested in guys, the wife wanting a divorce, and then he wasn't holding up his end with the house in foreclosure and to top it all off the women were celebrating CHRISTmas.

Yeah, everything I post is the truth, and if it's speculation, I say so. Some folks like you however would rather avoid the truth at every step, as it has a tendency to cause discomfort in certain people. Ya see, I'm not here for the group speak or a popularity contest, so I'm not restricted and am free to speak the uninhibited truth.

BTW, I absolutely have no idea who your Justin friend is. Must be a Texas thing.

I gave you a chance to be honest and you failed.

Must be a liberal thing.

A lot of us have been wondering about your obsessive hatred of Texas. We don’t feel that way about California. Something really awful must have happened to you here for you to be so angry.

Thanks

I don’t have the time or inclination to go back to ALL the offensive comments you have made about Texas. There was a really nasty thread about California on FR a few nights ago and I started to ping you to it so you could defend your state..... but then I decided that would be rude.

Wait a minute there Dit.

I ask you to post this hateful offensive comment you just referred to, and now ya tell me, "I don't have time to look for it".

I suggest before ya make an allegation like that, ya find out what exactly was said.

It's like Texas is the new LA...

From your Post# 88.

I guess this is the same as saying California is the new Sodom?

Actually my post is much more accurate.
