Actually a rather p!ss poor attempt at humor, when none was really called for.

Terrible tragedy, but the immediate referral to grief counselors is a modern anomaly. How did the US survive so long without all of this assistance???

Wow, where do I start? This occured about 8 miles where I live to the northwest. Mike and Sandy lived just across the county line in Van Buren, most of them live here in Lee near Mt. Hamill, where the family grain elevator business started. I went to school with all Mike's cousins from out and around there, have known the family for 30+ years.

Mike was the manager of the Donnellson elevator here in town. The guy I ride to work with also works there as a second job, he saw Mike regularly. He's pretty freaked out. The word he got says the kid was pretty heavy into hard drugs.

Don't know what else to say. This just doesn't happen here. We get maybe 1 or 2 murders a year in the area, some years none. I don't think multiple murders like this has ever happened. As tight knit as this area is, I can't begin to convey how much of a shock this is.

Sounds like a family of 6. Sloppy editing.

"Grief counselors" are the humanistic version of clergy. Can't pray or look to God for comfort in the schools so they had to come up with something else.

Gee. I thought it was the drug-addicted son who is thought to be responsible for these murders.

More info from a Des Moines Register article indicates that there was a 911 call at 3:33 AM Saturday asking for help at the home. Makes me wonder if that was why they they made a beeline for Shawn, who was arrested later that morning.

For sure. In about 1951, a Sioux City, Iowa -story meat packing plant was flattened by an explosion. Many were killed and virtually everyone in town lost a friend or neighbor.

We all survived w/o counselors.

Terrible.

Some would say these things have always happened and that
it just seems more frequent because of the internet etc..

I disagree.

Evil is increasing.

Prayers for the familes and those affected by this.

What sad news for S. Iowa. The meth disease continues to gather victims.
