The three male victims were brothers from Morocco and the fourth victim was their mother. The final victim was the wife of one of the men, police said.

Four other people fled the home during the standoff, police said.

Police used a megaphone to try to communicate with the occupants of the home, addressing the family in Arabic.

The Arizona Republic reported that one neighbour said the family owned a transportation service, but another referred to them as "invisible" until Thursday.

The standoff in the residential neighbourhood was shown live on TV with SWAT teams and other police agencies converging on the area.

Just a typical domestic family disturbance. No sign of ISIS here. Move along...

Morocco....good place, good times, good people....I remember CS&N singing about it. So nothing could have been wrong here, huh?

My question, where are they now?

[IronJack]

So five dead ragheads? Hey, you gotta start somewhere.

[null and void]

Yeah. Interesting how it went from an argument about the family business to an armed standoff in a single news cycle...

If Obama had a Real Family.....

Move along...

The MSM will do just that. You won’t hear a peep from them.

MM, Political Re-Education Camp is probably not going to be fun for you.

hey listen, the fact they were willing to commit murder in no way is an indication that when it came to their transportation business, I’m sure they were honest people and didn’t cheat on their taxes and paid what was due to their new adopted country.

A family owned "transportation service" by the border, speaking Arabic only, and involved in a shootout to the death with police. Since they are from Morocco, I have to say it:

I worked with a woman who always spent her vacations anywhere but in the usual destinations. Once she vacationed in Morocco and enjoyed it. Now this was back in the 1980s before anyone ever heard of ISIS or Al Qaeda or any of the other radical groups. A number of these countries were happy to see Americans or, rather, they were happy to see Americans spending their dollars there. It's sad, but thanks to radicalism, they have basically destroyed their economies by trashing what had been a lucrative tourism trade.

ti be quite honest with you,...I am surprised that I havent already been invited to attend the Annual Get Your Mind RIght SUmmer Camp

“What difference does it make?”

“I’m going Golfing.”

Islam is a disease meant to spread pervasively. The days of past idyllic destinations are long gone - left only to memoirs and song.

if there’s a standoff going on, doesn’t that mean the cops have surrounded the place? how do FOUR people get away?

meanwhile, is it really a stand off if everyone inside is already dead?

Four other people fled the home during the standoff,

Too bad.

[Gaffer]

Gee. Like I didn’t know that. :0)
