Eight bodies found in Houston home after standoff with suspect http://t.co/11TAWC0wxQ #KSATnews pic.twitter.com/fi7pr1NPSd— KSAT 12 (@ksatnews) August 9, 2015 Courtesy of The Washington Post: Houston authorities have charged a 48-year-old man with multiple counts of capital murder after deputies discovered the bodies of six children and two adults in a home where the man was arrested.
The man, David R. Conley, allegedly was involved in a standoff with deputies that ended when he was coaxed out of the home by hostage negotiators without incident, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Once deputies entered the residence, they discovered the gruesome scene.
“He restrained, shot and killed eight people,” Celeste Byrom, an assistant district attorney, said during a court hearing Sunday in which Conley was ordered held without bail, according to the Chronicle.
Byrom said Conley gained access to the home through an unlocked window and restrained his victims using handcuffs before shooting them in the back of the head, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.
Apparently Conley, who has a history of violence, had previously been in a relationship with one of the victims, Valerie Jackson.
On fact one of the victims, a thirteen year old boy, is believed to be the son Conley had with Jackson.
Can we not go at least one week in this country without yet another report of a horrendous massacre involving a gun?
And let us remind ourselves once again that after Australia's 1996 Port Arthur massacre their politicians bravely said "No more fucking guns!" And there has not been a mass killing since.
It can be done, we just lack the will, and perhaps the intelligence, to do it.
