Seven people were killed in a shooting in Western Australia on Friday.

Someone in Osmington, Australia, a small village near the town of Margaret River, murdered seven members of the same family. Police responded to a call about the shooting around dawn. They found three generations of the same family killed and recovered two firearms from the scene.

"Police are currently responding to what I can only describe as a horrific incident," Western Australia state police commissioner Chris Dawson told the Associated Press. "This devastating tragedy will no doubt have a lasting impact on the families concerned, the whole community and, in particular, the local communities in our southwest."

The police said that four children and three adults were among those murdered.

(gasp)

Left-wing Democrats will pooh-pooh this saying that Australia still trails the US in gun deaths even with this “mass” slaying.

I just read a article about that $7500 purchase. Horrible.

Unpossible! I saw all the videos of the steamrollers crunching all of the Australian guns? How could there possibly be gun violence?

Fools. They sold their birthright for a mess of pottage.

Australia has strict gun laws. This must be an old story, pre-ban.

Grandfather Peter Miles is suspected of murdering his wife, their daughter and her four autistic children

I should not be surprised. Shootings like these are usually domestic.

Impossible. Gun control stops all shootings.

In the last two weeks I received a gift of a beautiful silk scarf made in Margaret River as locals create new enterprises. I imagine it’s a relatively poverty-striken area.

How can that be? They don’t allow law-abiding, common people to have guns.

The hell-bound shooter was probably sexually abusing the kids, maybe more than one generation.

I wonder if they really believe innocent blood will give them status in hell. Or more precisely, if they really believe hell is a place where status makes a difference.

The only status that would matter would be status enabling one to walk out of the shattered gate of hell. Only One can grant that, and He loves the children fiercely.

In other words, wrong move loser.
