What a heart-wrenching tragedy on a day of love and peace. The stress and glitter of it all blinds humans to the true meaning of this event.

Perhaps someone got a gag gift they didn’t appreciate very much?

Divorced.
Or soon to be.
Ex-husband getting screwed by ex-wife.
Ex-husband sees no other way to resolve said situation.
Merry Freaking Christmas.

A guy I knew from my hometown was killed in an accident last night. Drunk driving.

Police and firefighters first rushed to the Lincoln Vineyards complex after receiving an open-ended emergency services call at about 11:30 a.m., Eberling said.

“There was an open line. No one was saying anything,” he explained.

Weird...

Perhaps there is a recent convert in the bunch?

Grapevine is a decent place from what I’ve seen. That big Gaylord Conference Center (which is huge) is there and the downtown is nice. I stayed there for several days this summer.

Sad story.

The Lincoln Vinyards apartment complex is a very well kept, gated community. I live less than a half mile from the complex and have considered selling my house and moving there. Residential houses in this surrounding area average around $225k-over $400k and there is very little crime. This is not a ghetto or barrio area with illegals and Holder’s people running around committing crimes and doing drugs. This was the first incident involving murder in Grapevine since 2010.

Watched local TV news at 10 pm and they indicated that relatives of those dead haven’t all been located and notified yet, so the police are not releasing the names. They are searching the cars of some of the victims, who were obviously not residents.

FoxNews obviously reported the headline from the Assoc. Press, because Grapevine is NOT in the Dallas area and is not even in the same County. Dolts!

Wow—not very far from where I live. On Christmas Day too.
Evil and wicked deeds from the pit of hades will have no place in Heaven.

"Two handguns were found near the bodies in the apartment that was decorated for the holiday with a tree, he added. "It appears they had just celebrated Christmas. They had opened their gifts," Eberling said.

Well there ya go. They got pistols for Christmas and were just tryin'em out!

First of all, what a terrible way to spend Christmas for all the police and others who had to witness the aftermath. I know there are a lot of cop-haters on this site but, really, would any of you want to spend your time going through this sort of crime scene on Christmas Day? Would any amount of pay be enough for the pictures these officers will have in their minds for a long time to come?

Secondly, how sad for the family members. And tragic for the classmates of the 18-year-old.

Finally, the holiday season is one of the biggest times of the year for suicides. The darkness and cold, plus the mindset of being left out of the joys of others becomes too much for some. And some also feel they have to murder the rest of the family to “spare them” from the grief. If you know any family members that are going through isolation or a divorce, reach out to them. It could make a big difference.

The shooter arrived at an apartment where a family was celebrating the holidays armed with two handguns, which were both used, catching his victims by surprise, police said Tuesday morning.

Family friends told News 8 the alleged gunman is Azizolah Yazdanpanah, 56. Police said he showed up at the apartment dressed as Santa Claus and as a welcome guest for the family’s Christmas celebration sometime before 11:15 a.m.
He then allegedly shot and killed his estranged wife, Fatemeh Rahmati, 55, their 19-year old-daughter Nona and 15-year-old son Ali. Also fatally shot were his sister-in-law, Zohreh Rahmaty, 58; her husband Mohamad Zarei, 59; and their 22-year-old daughter Sara Zarei.
