Medical teams on Monday finished the autopsies of eight family members shot and killed in a total of four different homes in southern Ohio, as officials revealed the investigation had uncovered three marijuana growing operations.

“This was a preplanned execution of eight individuals,” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said. “It was a sophisticated operation. And those who carried it out were trying to do everything they could do to hinder the investigation and their prosecution."
DeWine and Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader did not immediately release the results of the autopsies. The attorney general had prevously said each relative apparently was shot in the head, and that none of the shootings appeared to be a suicide.
Most were apparently sleeping when they were killed. Three young children -- including a 4-day-old infant -- were also found unhurt.
“This is not your case where someone got mad at somebody else, shot him, there’s a witness, two witnesses. It’s a very, very different kind of case,” DeWine added.

Note to self.
Have security and a bunch of dogs when living on a large trailer in rural Ohio on a pot farm.
Three of the four houses where these people were killed had marijuana growing operations at them.
IMHO, I am more and more convinced that this was some kind of horrific drug hit.
But 4 weeks for Prince’s!
Has the gun caliber been released?
Usually it is related to not paying protection money or kicking upstairs.
But domestic growers are eating into the import business.
The towns surrounding Cleveland are concerned about how they're going to deal with any spill-over during the convention, some with large concentrations of hotels and restaurants to worry about. Their police and fire aren't available to work in Cleveland, they're part of plans for their area's towns. I'm not sure there's any strong leadership with a master plan.
My point. Kasick isn't doing his job, providing leadership, and it's becoming painfully obvious.
Cops shouldn’t have to look further than the family’s drug competitors.
It is AMAZING that John Kasich has not been able to stop Ohioans from taking drugs. What kind of person would run for president when there are people in his state using drugs??? The NERVE!!
The US has always been a world class competitor in agriculture.
Once the big university ag schools get on board with crop development we’ll kick serious @ss in grass.
It was orchestrated , over 4 different properties.
The assailant harmed only adults and people who could identify them.
Someone else, here , suggested use of a can (silencer ) as the loud report would awaken others in the household.
Any signs of resistance by any of the victims ?
The assailant knew exactly when to hit, and where to hit for maximum efficiency
This has all the markings of cartel/ drugs revenge killing,
or someone who might benefit from the family eradication (insurance ?, or child support for the 4 day old child ?).
Rumor is that it was a professional hit which translates to “We won’t be charging anyone for the murder”.
You fly in the pros and you fly them back out.
I was thinking more of the lookalike pair of cartel hitmen that were hunting him (with a chrome fireman's axe).
I’ll bet that none would have passed pee-in-a-cup.
One of my cousins is a legal grower. When you are competing with drug lords, it is smart to keep your head on a swivel.
After all, pot is victimless.
Personally, I'm all for legalizing ALL drugs. Stupids do drugs. Dems are, by nature, breeding and choice, stupid. What does the country lose by Dims ODing?
PS: Kasick is a total Democrat, except for being bought and paid for by corporate and global interests.
