GRAPEVINE, Texas The man believed to have killed six relatives and then himself on Christmas Day was dressed as Santa Claus, police said Monday.
The shooter "showed up shortly before the incident took place" in the Santa outfit and was a member of the family opening gifts in the apartment in this Dallas suburb, said Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling.
Late Sunday evening, police intently searched a sport utility vehicle parked outside the apartment. The vehicle is registered to a man who listed his residence as a home two miles away in the neighboring suburb of Colleyville.
Thomas Ehrlich, who lives near the home in Colleyville, told the AP he heard from neighbors that police went to the house Sunday. He said it was his understanding that the man and women who once lived there were estranged.
Records show the couple had financial problems and that their home, most recently valued on the county tax rolls at $336,200, had been sold in 2010 at a foreclosure auction.
Eberling said the identity of the man and the victims would be released after autopsies are conducted and relatives were notified.
The dead four women and three men were found late Sunday morning in an apartment living room in Grapevine by police answering a voiceless 911 call.
You know..........with all these killings lately, and some of the more bizzare ways that they happen, does anyone wonder if there's something in the water, or............
Is the End of the World finally here? It is almost 2012 after all.
