#3 I saw it on the crawl on the NBC news coverage of the hurricane. But I live in the next-door suburb.

#4 Are we expecting the 8 to be non-stetson wearers?

#5 A neighbor said a friend of one of the homeowners said the violence had been sparked by a domestic dispute, but police have provided no details about the relationships between the victims and the gunman. The couple identified in public records as the homeowners sought a divorce in July.

#6 Seems like an over reaction to running out of wings and beer, but one never knows.

#8 Names, photographs, and additional information unavailable.

It's a known fact that albino Amish people photograph poorly and the AP Stylebook says their names are easily misspelled...

#9 More on eight dead (As usual, the best and more complete story is from oversea.) With pictures of perps

It seems that five of the "adults" were children.

Appears to be a domestic dispute.

That's a Houston incident from 2015. Plano is a couple of hundred miles away. It's fairly high-income.

#11 #5's dallasnews.com link's considerably updated. At first skim it looks to be your typical Plano octomurder.

#12 From the updated story at Snomble Throluter4608's link:

Relatives confirmed to WFAA-TV (Channel 8) on Monday that one of the victims was 27-year-old Meredith Hight and that her estranged husband was the shooter.

"She was a cook, and a quite fine one, and she loved hosting friends and families," said her mother, Debbie Lane. "This was her first opportunity to do it after the divorce, and he didn't take it well."

A small photo of the pretty, blond Ms Hight can now be seen at the link.

#13 My mistake, that's what I get for skimming through too fast.

Local news apparently did update with more information, it's kind of eerie how similar the two incidents are.
