Relative sought in 4 Fla. Thanksgiving killings

Post by Jazzy »

JUPITER, Fla. -Authorities in Florida were searching Saturday for a man police said opened fire on his family after Thanksgiving dinner and killed four people, including his pregnant sister and a 6-year-old cousin who was sleeping in her bed.

There had been "ongoing resentment" in the family, but investigators weren't sure what specifically prompted the shooting, officials said. Police were looking for Paul Michael Merhige, 35, of Miami. He was believed to be driving a royal blue 2007 Toyota Camry with a rear spoiler and Florida license plate.

Merhige is also accused of gunning down his pregnant sister's twin and his 79-year-old aunt.

This is awful ! This sort of incident seems to be happening more and more ! Are these people drugged up or something ? A bit drastic method of sorting an argument ! Where will it get the killer - absolutely nowhere, except the death penalty, if there is one in that state.
