"Chandrasekhar Sunkara, 44; Lavanya Sunkara, 41; and two boys, ages 15 and 10 were pronounced dead at the scene, the city of West Des Moines said in a news release. They were found Saturday morning, according to CNN affiliate KCCI.

Four other family members, two of whom are children, were staying in the home as guests, police said. When the victims were found, one of those guests ran outside to look for help, found someone walking by and had that person call 911.

Police identified apparent gunshot wounds to each of the victims, but autopsies will be performed to determine the cause of each of their deaths, the release said. A police spokesman said there does not appear to be a threat to others in the community."

Honour killings?

And none of the guests heard 4 gunshots?

Perhaps they were not there at the time of the shootings?

Hmmmm.
Honour killings?

Possible, but that usually involves women, not teenage boys (unless the boys were a product of an affair?)

A whole lot of WTF

Maybe they were tired of having their relatives as houseguests and this was the only out they could think of.

It was murder-suicide!

"On Monday, police said autopsies indicated that the boys and their mother were homicide victims and that Chandrasekhar Sunkara died by suicide. Authorities gave no further details."

Stupid dad forgot to do himself first.

Choosing a time when you have four houseguests to commit family annihilating murder-suicide seems odd to me.
