LA man upset over job kills wife, 5 kids, himself

The economic situation is turning for the worst. In Wilmington a couple decided to kill themselves and their children after losing their hospital jobs. Ervin Lupoe wrote "why leave the children to a stranger?" in a fax sent to KABC-TV. The police were called in as soon as the fax was received and the police arrived minutes after the shooting. They found Ana Lupoe's body along with twin her 2-year-old boys in the downstairs bathroom while the 8-year-old girl,and the twin 5-year-old girls were found in the upstairs bedroom with Lupoe. The gun was lying beside his body. I know the economic situation is only getting worse, but there has to be better solutions than suicide.

Wow, I haven't heard about this story. This is such a sad story. I wonder what it was that made them believe there was no hope to survive. Although I don't think they should have taken the lives of their children, it would have been terrible for them to grow up knowing both of their parents abandoned them by committing suicide. I don't think that these situations were their only options.
