The bodies were found Friday inside the Grand Haven residence, police said, and the children were 5 to 15 years old.
A man fatally shot his wife and their six children before he set the Michigan home they shared ablaze and turned the gun on himself, authorities said Monday.
Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, killed his wife, Amanda, 39, and their children, ages 5 to 15, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Capt. Jake Sparks said at a news conference.
They were found dead after first responders arrived at the home in Grand Haven, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, late Friday morning, Sparks said. Autopsies showed all had been shot, he said.
Was she going to divorce him or something? These pieces of shit always lose their minds over women leaving.
This happens so much, their is a name for it “Family annihilation” or Familicide. It’s almost always the patriarch who does this. Women do it too, Andrea Yates comes to mind, but that’s much more rare.
I’ve always found it interesting that while men do familicide often, we forget about it. (Psychology Today puts the rate at 1 every 5 days in the US) Meanwhile women who do the crime like Yates or Smith become notorious for decades. Admit it, you’ve forgotten the name Kristopher Karolkiewicz from the article you just read, but you remember Susan Smith from 30 years ago.
I don’t remember any of their names, even the ones you wrote.
No shot in hell Im going to remember Kris…long 12Ks littered in his name guy, but I can sure consider susan smith i guess, wont remember why i remember susan smith though.
Why can’t these absolute cunts do themselves in before taking out their families?
So like. What happened right before this? I’m not trying to justify it I’m just genuinely curious.
Was this just a crazy man who finally snapped? A crazy man pushed too far by outside influence? A spur of the moment murder suicide?
Outside of mental issues I’m not really coming up with many ideas on how this shit occurs
