link updated to identify:

The deceased have been identified as 42-year-old Matthew Edwards, 41-year-old Julie Burton Edwards and their children, Jacob, Brinley and Paxton—all under the age of 8.

The bodies were turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science and their deaths were ruled murder and suicide by gunshot. According to police, Matthew Edwards sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A neighbor, who asked not to appear on camera, says Matthew Edwards approached Sunday afternoon complaining of problems at work and home.

"Lost his job recently. He had to relocate to Virginia and remain there for months at a time—not come home. He said he and his wife were having a little bit of marital problems," the neighbor told FOX 29.

Thanks for the above link. I was surprised to learn this:
There is no national tracking for murder suicide statistics in the United States. The Violence Policy Center said in 2015 that there are between 1,000 and 1,500 deaths every year due to murder suicides. [snip] The Centers for Disease Control says that five percent of homicides are followed by a suicide every year.

Why why why??????

I know, I know. Constantly the question in so many of our minds.

I'm sure more will be revealed, but we can't walk in the family's shoes. We'll never completely understand.

Prayers for family and friends of the Edwards.
