[Rich71691]

Right down the road from me

I woke up today to the sound of helicopters, 4 news helicopters were circuling around, which is not unusual with I-55, a bad accident, but I went golfing today, and on the way there, we saw a road closed, 6 state trooper cars, and 2 Channahon Police cars, the road was lined with cars(reporters) and news vans, Farther down the road, we could see a re SUV and the yellow Police tape. Here is an article I found(if you want it, pm me), any more news anyone can put up would be helpful.
Thank you

Domestic disturbance gone violent. Dad either tried to cover up his role in the shooting by capping himself or tried to commit suicide and didn't succeed.

All joking aside this is horrible but just part of our sickening society. I grew up in a well to do area (braggart) and stuff like this was not uncommon. The world today is sick, WRITE THAT DOWN. I could go off on a rant of all the reasons our world today sucks but I won't go there because the truth is to real for some.

Superhighend braggart.

[dmboak]

Superhighend braggart.

 

I was just saying that the vehicle found at the scene was a FORD. Anyway Rich, these things happen a lot, just not in your neck of the woods. Domestic violence is a big problem in the world these days. Ask John Daly.

So true. Domestic violence is tearing our world apart.

[Rich71691]

It was very shocking, I heard they drove from in from Aurora, a very well off family, the mom was always playing volleyball and was very social, kids were boy 8 years old, girls 11 and 12 years old, It shocking that it happened around here.

Unfortunately, its always been a big problem. IT just gets talked about in the open more now.

 

Any man who hits his wife is a coward and a scumbucket in my book. Same for any adult who hurts a child.

 

I normally don't wish bodily injury on anyone, but I take some solace in the rumors that child molestors are the first to get molested in prison.

Illinois man charged in deaths of wife, 3 children

 

A suburban Chicago man found shot near the bodies of his wife and their three children in the family sport utility vehicle earlier this month was charged Saturday in their shooting deaths.

 

Christopher Vaughn, 32, was charged with eight counts of first-degree murder, prosecutor James Glasgow said at a news conference in Joliet.

 

Missouri authorities arrested Vaughn on Saturday morning at a funeral home near St. Louis, Missouri, just before the scheduled start of services for 34-year-old Kimberly Vaughn and her children -- Abigayle, 12, Cassandra, 11, and Blake, 8, Glasgow said.

 

Their bodies were found June 14 in a 2004 Ford Expedition parked on a service road near Interstate 55 in Channahon, about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. Kimberly Vaughn was shot once and the children were shot twice.

 

"We are hopeful Kimberly Vaughn and her three beautiful children can rest in peace," Glasgow, who declined to discuss possible motives, said on Saturday. "Everyone who came in contact with this case was moved by what they saw."

 

The bodies were discovered after police received a 911 call from a passer-by flagged down by Christopher Vaughn, authorities have said. A handgun was found at the scene.

 

Vaughn, who works as a computer forensic adviser, had been shot in the thigh and was released from a nearby hospital later that day. Police initially said he was not a suspect.

 

The Vaughns, who once lived in Missouri, moved from Washington state to the Chicago area about a year ago. They lived briefly in Aurora before relocating to a spacious home in Oswego.

 

Glasgow said he hoped Vaughn would be extradited from Missouri to Illinois soon. He said Vaughn indicated he intended to fight extradition.
