it seems to me that if it were a murder/suicide then there would be a gun or something for the murderer to have killed him/herself. trauma sounds like a beating and I don't know if they refer to a gunshot wound as trauma. if there was no gun at the scene, then it doesn't seem likely that it was suicide. the police will have this figured out fairly quickly, probably by the 5 pm news.

while its tragic, I hope it was a murder suicide, because that would mean that someone else, a fourth party, isn't at large. but even if it was a triple murder by an outside party, it sounds like it wasn't random. this is awful, but it doesn't make me feel any less safe. things happen, even in our little middle class bedroom community. remember that guy a few years back that killed his wife in Folsom and then fled the country? pressures build up. what a shame.

Nothing like accurate reporting. One channel says one man and two women, the other says One woman and two men.....

Hmm.. both say a man and two women... maybe they fixed it.

Yes. I just looked again, and they have changed it.

Murder-suicide suspected in Folsom deaths
By Ramon Coronado - Bee Staff Writer

Last Updated 1:28 pm PST Wednesday, January 17, 2007
Two women and a man are dead after their bodies were discovered Wednesday morning in their Folsom home.

"We did locate a handgun in the residence," said Folsom police spokeswoman Michelle Beattie.

"It does appear the the two older victims are Department of Corrections employees and it does appear to be a murder-suicide," she said, adding that the deaths occurred late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

The names of the three were not released, but neighbors and co-workers say the man and the older woman, who was in her 50s, were employees of the Old Folsom State Prison.

Each of the three had gunshot wounds and Folsom police said the weapon used was a small-caliber handgun that was "readily visible." Police would not describe the location of the weapon.

There were no signs of a forced entry other than a broken window that police smashed shortly after 7 a.m., when they found one of the women on the floor a short distance from the front door.

The second woman appears to be in her 30s and appears to be a victim, police said. The relationship between the three was not disclosed by officers.

Police were called by a co-worker, who said it as "uncharacteristic" for his fellow worker to fail to show up for work.

Upon conducting a welfare check, the bodies were found.

All morning long a steady stream of men and women dressed in state Department of Corrections uniforms were going behind the police lines to the house.

A correctional officer at the scene said two of the victims were co-workers at Old Folsom Prison, one a correctional officer and his wife, who worked in the medical department.

"(He) was a great guy. I've known him for lots and lots of years. I work with him and we're neighbors," said Larry White, who said he received a call this morning about the discovery of bodies.

The couple had recently purchased property in Tennessee and planned to retire this year, White said.

"Nobody knows what happened. It could be an accident, it could be suicide, but I don't think it was suicide because they were too happy," White said.

My oldest son knows the daughter.. her sister's name is H..... he's known her since she was like nine years old... and he had dinner with her, the sister and her mom about 2 months ago for her 21st birthday over at the Qbole Restaruant....

I hope it's not one of these deals where she decided to throw is butt out and because he had low self esteem decided to kill her and her daughter... then did himself in...

I hate these kinds of crimes... poor young girl just turned 21 a short time ago....

Yea... I understand about throwing around our 2 cents... but I'm an old guy... and I've seen this kind of thing too many times... and it winds up being something like I laid out... some dude is upset because his wife/girlfriend decides it's over and he can't take it... so he takes it out on everyone... then decides to kill himself... I could be wrong... but isn't that pretty much the scenerio these days....?

and yea... they may have worked out together...and appeared to be happy... but you never know how folks are really behind the closed doors of their home...

Odd question, but was the daughter of small stature or a dwarf? Just something I'd heard, but certainly not confirmed in any way.
