Cops: Man who killed 6 relatives wore Santa outfit - US news - Crime & courts - msnbc.com
GRAPEVINE, Texas — The man believed to have killed six relatives and then himself on Christmas Day was dressed as Santa Claus, police said Monday.
The shooter "showed up shortly before the incident took place" in the Santa outfit and was a member of the family opening gifts in the apartment, said Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling.
Eberling said the identity of the man and the victims will be released after autopsies are conducted later Monday.
The dead — four women and three men — were found late Sunday morning in an apartment living room in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine by police answering a voiceless 911 call, authorities said.
Two pistols were recovered from the home, said Eberling, who called it a "gruesome crime scene" and the worst outburst of gun violence in the town's history.
No one was found alive by police arriving at the home, he said.
A community of about 46,000 people some 20 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, Grapevine is known for its wine-tasting salons and was recently proclaimed by the state Senate as the "Christmas Capital of Texas" for its abundance of annual holiday-season events.
