The bodies were found in a two-story home on the 1000 block of McFarland Avenue shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday. The case is being investigated as a murder-suicide, but police are exploring all possibilities. Police say they believe the father, Ervin Lupoe, was distraught over ongoing job problems and killed his wife Ana and their five children before shooting himself.

"They were in separate rooms, the dad and the girls in one room, and the wife and the boys in another room. When the officers came in, they smelled what they believed to be fresh gunshot residue in the air," said LAPD Deputy Chief Kenneth Garner.



Police said the apparent father was found dead with his three daughters, 5-year-old twin girls and an 8-year-old girl, in an upstairs bedroom. A revolver was found next to the man. Twin 2-year-old boys were found dead next to their mother in another bedroom.

This is so very sad. I feel so sorry for the poor children.
 
I saw this earlier. It is so sad.
 
My previous company had a contract with Kaiser. I regularly posted at and worked in Kaiser West LA hospital. This one hit home.
