LAKE HALLIE, Wis. (FOX 9) - Authorities say the murders of four people in two separate shootings in western Wisconsin over the weekend may have been an attempt to copy the abduction of 13-year-old Jayme Closs last fall.

Sunday night, law enforcement officers learned two people were found dead and two more were injured at a home in Lake Hallie. A short time later, three more people were found dead in a duplex in the nearby town of Lafayette. The suspected shooter was among the dead.

Chippewa County Sheriff Jim Kowalczyk identified the suspected shooter in all four murders as 33-year-old Ritchie German Jr.

The sheriff said German shot his mother, 66-year-old Bridget German; his brother, 32-year-old Douglas German; and his nephew, 8-year-old Calvin Harris at the family’s home in Lafayette. All three were shot in the head and died instantly.

Horrible.

A Jayme Close copycat.

In a bit of disbelief when I first heard this earlier today. But, it kinda makes some perverted sense.

There are some serious mental issues in the heartland as well as the big cities.

Dammit!

“Family members described Ritchie to investigators as a loner. He lived with his mother off and on at the house in Lafayette, but did not appear to have any friends, a job, a car or a permanent address.”

I sure wish we could still turn our loner/weirdo family members over to the Mental Health Authorities as we used to.

So much of this stuff COULD be prevented.

But, Nope! All CrAzIeS are EqUaLe! Thanks, Democrats!

Alcohol and drugs are a bad combination.

Alcohol and drugs are a bad combination.

Naw, it was solely the gun that did it. (/sarcasm)

[MrEdd]

Where are all those Freepers who insisted that Jayme Closs helped an older boyfriend kill her parents?

Will they show up on this thread to insist some young girl enviegled this guy to kill all these people?

You know.
To be consistent.

or Glenn Closs copycat...

[dfwgator]

Glenn Close was a copycat of Jessica Walter.....

[Brown Deer]

and that leads us to Barbara Walters, who indeed supports baby killing.

Rather than focus on the actual abortion, Walters lectured, "Then to have to go and be forced to hear, to see the fetus, to hear the heartbeat, to put more guilt on you, I think is heartbreaking."

Long before the View, she also did a segment on premature babies, and claimed that it was shameful for insurance companies and hospitals to waste so much time and money on saving those baby's lives.

sorry about getting off topic.
