I'm sorry, that is just so damn wrong. I hope they don't take the killer(s) alive.

PIKETON, Ohio (AP) — An out-of-breath caller who found two of the eight slain members of an Ohio family told a 911 dispatcher in a quavering voice that "there's blood all over the house."
"I think my brother-in-law's dead," she said, her voice rising as she adds later that it looks like someone has "beat the crap out of them."
"I think they're both dead," she said before breaking down into sobs, according to one of two 911 call recordings released Saturday by the state attorney general's office.
The calls were released a day after eight family members were found dead with gunshots to the head at four properties in rural southern Ohio.
Authorities continued the scramble to determine who targeted that clan and why. Investigators said they interviewed more than 30 people in hopes of finding leads in the deaths of the seven adults and the teenage boy whose bodies were found Friday at homes southwest of Piketon. They completed work at the crime scene Saturday.
"It's a very active and ongoing investigation," said Lisa Hackley, a spokeswoman for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. "We're looking for the person or persons who did this."
The victims, all members of the Rhoden family, were identified Saturday as 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his 16-year-old son, Christopher Rhoden Jr.; 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden; 38-year-old Gary Rhoden; 37-year-old Dana Rhoden; 20-year-old Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden; 20-year-old Hannah Gilley; and 19-year-old Hanna Rhoden.
It appeared some of the family members were killed as they slept, including Hanna Rhoden, who was in bed with

I live on one of the major routes in TX for Mexican drugs/illegals. We have a few problems but I suspect most of them just pass through.
I would never have thought of that. I wonder who will step forward and try to get the child?
Over here...two pot growing operations found at scenes...
They were killed in their sleep by gunshots? They all must be heavy sleepers.
And don’t forget to blame it on a video, and/or Bush, and/or white Christian male conservatives.
I think they were in 4 different houses.
LOL!!!!!
I agree, in Mexico it is not uncommon for entire families to be murdered. Actually happened a little South of me a couple years ago.
It is possible someone else did it of course but sure sounds like Cartel work.
I'm sorry, that is just so damn wrong. I hope they don't take the killer(s) alive.
I agree. Just horrific and evil!
Thanks SE MOM ,for some reason I thought they caught the person in this one.Must have been another case.
:)I am following Missy Bevers on a crime site.That’s another strange one.
Originally they acted as though it was something like a murder+suicide situation, told people that live there they didn’t think it was a “killer on the loose” situation. Then found no self-inflected wounds on any of the deceased, so it did become a hunt for killer/s.
Ohh so that’s why I was mixed up.Thanks Tammy.
Dewine just announced it was sophisticated, pre-planned, and included efforts to hinder the investigation. He used the word “those” and now is falling back on murdererer or murderers. Says they will studiously avoid giving details.
Yeah, those drug cartels don’t like people messing with their money.
Of course, they have been known to target the wrong families from time to time.
But it’s all good for them, the message is still sent.
Darn shame they couldn’t have left a calling card, like a Columbian Neck Tie.
Dewine is walking back the hindered part saying he meant in their planning stage and not afterwards.
