PITTSBURG, Calif. - A senior editor for PC World Magazine was shot to death in his home in what police described as a drug-related attack, authorities said Wednesday.Rex Farrance, 59, the San Francisco-based magazine's senior technical editor, was shot in the chest after four masked men broke into his home in a suburb east of the city around 9 p.m. Tuesday, Pittsburg police said.
The assailants also pistol-whipped Farrance's wife, Lenore Vantosh-Farrance, 56, a registered nurse. She called 911, but the attackers fled before officers arrived.
"We have substantial reason to believe that the victim and his wife were involved in the possession and, potentially, the distribution of illegal narcotics," said Pittsburg police Inspector John Conaty, who declined to specify what type of drugs were involved.

Please add me to this ping list.
Probably a case of mistaken identity by stupid assassins who thought he was editor of “PCP World”....
Hm. Their founding editor, Andrew something, died at an early age. Another of their top people jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge, IIRC. Now this. Seems working at that magazine is hazardous to one’s health.
Im confused, this was posted in January???????????
