A “completely American” family of Vier was found dead in their house in Pennsylvania, as a result of such civil servants that it is an “unthinkable” murder suicide.
The State Police of Pennsylvania said that Paul Swarner, 35, his wife, Karen Swarner, 32, and their two young children, Evelyn, 5, and Connor, 1, Thursday night by Karen’s father were discovered in their house in Ruffsdale after family members had not been . be able to get in touch with them, according to WTAE.
Researchers think that Paul Swarner shot his ten -year -old wife and their two children deadly before he in itself aimed the gun, Stave Limani said at a press conference on Friday.
“It’s unthinkable. It is inscrutable, “said Limani.
All four were found in the same room and a Ruger .22 pistol-whose weapons researchers think it was used by the father of two children to kill his family and himself-was found on the spot.
“I don’t know what was going on with Paul. I don’t know why it would have happened, “said the Trooper.
“I hope we can find answers. It is extremely, extremely sad. Don’t know. I don’t know what’s worse. “
Limani said that family members had spoken with the couple on Wednesday, and that “in all respects there was no question of what you would consider as a struggle or any form of concern or fear of danger or something like that.”
“It was a normal conversation,” said Limani.
The police revealed that they had not discovered that Paul and Karen had a criminal past or data about domestic violence before the tragic murder suicide.
“It seems that they had very successful jobs,” Limani said, adding that it looked like a ‘very loving household’.
“Their house was the completely American house. There was toys for the children. ”
Limani said that the officials “will do everything they can to get answers to the family” and that researchers work together with the Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office to find out a timeline of when the tragedy took place.
A neighbor of the Swarner family, Dick Shawley, said he was only warned about something in the house when the police flooded the quiet neighborhood.
“I feel so bad,” Shawley said, controlling his tears while talking to him WTAE.
“I was not a family, but I tried to help as much as possible and I didn’t bother them. But if they needed help, I was there. “
The deeply sad neighbor said that last Christmas he had given the two children of the family presents and “played Santa Claus” for them.
“They were always jumping and happy,” he said. “I will never get it out of my mind again. What a destruction. What a precious life. ”
