Financial crisis is starting to claim victims...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081007/...s/bodies_found
Here are first couple paragraphs...
"LOS ANGELES - The only hints of trouble in the big beige house on Como Lane were the newspapers in the driveway and the lack of any activity behind the front door.
But when police summoned by worried friends of the residents got inside Monday, they found a horror — six members of a family fatally shot in a murder-suicide committed by an unemployed father in financial crisis.
The body of 45-year-old Karthik Rajaram, a gun clutched in one hand, was found by officers who followed a trail of carnage through the home in a gated community in the Porter Ranch area of the San Fernando Valley.
His victims, most slain in their beds, were his wife, three sons and his mother-in-law."
I could believe this when I read it; I have heard of families of falling on tough times before, but never to such extend...

It said the guy lost his job couple months back...Even if you do not live above your means, if would not take long for things to spiral down considering responsibilities and costs of a six member family...Most financial planners will tell you to have rainy day savings of between 3 to 6 months worth. That what seemed happened to this guy. He probably had saving, but they were running out and it was becoming obvious he was not going to find another job anytime soon given the state of the economy...
