A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent killed his wife and two children in Orange County before turning the gun on himself, authorities in Orange County said Thursday.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that those found dead at the Corner Glen Drive home in east Orange County have been identified as Ezequiel Almodovar, 39, Marielis Soto, 38, Ezequiel Almodovar, 16, and Gabriel Almodovar, 12.

It happens more often than one would think. Murder/suicide accounts for over half the gun deaths in the United States. I follow a website called the national gun violence memorial. Today I read about the shooting death of a woman that posted on her facebook page on valentines day how happy & in love she was with her boyfriend. Three days later he shot & killed her & himself. One day everything is fine. The next day it's not.

Not to mention 40% of Law Enforcement officers engage in domestic violence.
