Police in a quiet community outside Chicago who are investigating the shooting deaths of a family of four, including two children, in their home Sunday night say it wasn’t a random incident.
The two adults, their two children and their three dogs were found with gunshot wounds in their home in Romeoville, Illinois, about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, officials said.
Police do not consider the deaths a murder-suicide and are investigating the incident as a murder, Deputy Chief Chris Burne of the Romeoville Police Department, said during a news conference Monday.
Is killing an entire family ever a “random” incident? wtf is that even supposed to mean?
It means that the police believe that the family was targeted because of some relationship, instead of a serial killer or armed robbers looking for whoever left the door open or doesn’t keep large dogs. So the police don’t expect the killer(s) to massacre another family in the neighborhood.
Random could be a robbery gone bad.
Not random could mean they were targeted.
Calm down. This isn’t reddit where you can nitpick everything and expect others to follow suit.
