I’m with you — I think it’s odd. The age of the youngest victim has also varied from 15 to 18 depending on the news source. Haven’t seen anything in the usual places (i.e. Facebook) that would identify the family (I have 16 year old twins — they haven’t heard anything either).

Likely the Tarrant County Medical Examiner public access site will release the names first: http://mepublic.tarrantcounty.com/mepublic/

***I recall a horror film where some mass-killer dressed up like Santa Claus!***

Wasn’t that on Turner Classic Movies Christmas eve late? I saw about 5 minutes of it before going to bed.

My hunch is this was a love triangle, and or x-husband/boyfriend who flipped his lid, decided to murder everyone around the Christmas tree.

The suspect likely dressed up in the Santa outfit to gain entry without being ID'd, and then just shot everyone to death in a rage.

I know you’re sarcastic, but I can think of a couple Congresscritters dumb enough to think this is a good idea.

He’s still hoping Guam doesn’t flip over.

There wan an interview of a neighbor girl who knew one of them, she said
Something about being from IRAN and MUSLIM.

I wonder why they are withholding information about this case.. Hmmmm.

Why would Muslims be opening presents on Christmas?

Hmmm...

And why would this be a reason to withhold the victims names? Or the shooter?

[MaxMax]

Muslims have zero tolerance. I want to know the race of the victims.

The media blackout is telling.

[OrangeHoof]

Strange that the names are not released.

Finding next-of-kin might be a little difficult since he killed most of them.

[Rebelbase]

““What’s next, the Easter Bunny as a child molester?””

Just a matter of time...

[dragnet2]

Their holding back the name of the mass murdering suspect/shooter until they notify his next of kin?

That’s a first!

[Ole Okie]

Send them a list of items that might be of interest to you. Tell them you don't mind that they were already opened.

Bullet holes okay, too?

[dragnet2]

Muslims have zero tolerance.

I had no idea Muslims celebrated Christmas as these victims were in the process of.

[dragnet2]

I would direct that question to Revolting cat!

[mowowie]

Wasn’t Joan Collins in this movie?

[MaxMax]

I just saw the report again on channel 11 CBS, the interview was changed.
They took out the parts mentioning Iran and Muslim.

I had no idea Muslims celebrated Christmas as these victims were in the process of.

Well how in the F would I know either? I'm not guessing.

[dragnet2]

Oh, more jokes for the Christmas day mass murder thread!

I actually put this in news, but someone decided to put this belonged in chat. I guess 7 shot to death while opening gifts on Christmas day is hardly news.

With all this humor from folks like you, I probably should have posted this under Humor/Cartoons!

[OrangeHoof]

I had planned to stop at “he opened his gifts and then he opened fire.”

Seriously, though, I feel sorry for the police and authorities who had to view this sort of crime scene on Christmas Day. I’m sure the mental images are going to stay with them a very long time.

Uh, you were the one in #45 who mentioned a witness indicated Muslims were possibly involved. I'm guessing this is what generated my comment above.

Names are up . . .

Interested parties should use a search engine for ‘Jesus in Islam’. It will be a surprise to most.
