[StBernard] More stories like this to come?

Awful to think they were that exhausted at fighting to survive and
desperate; I will pray for them. This situation can make any sane man nuts
and it shocks me that our federal government has disappeared in the face of
disaster they helped bring about. Mudpie

	Three Katrina evacuees dead in apparent double murder-suicide

	GRAPEVINE, Texas-- A family of three Hurricane Katrina evacuees
facing 
	eviction were found dead Friday in their North Texas apartment in
what 
	police said appears to be a double murder-suicide. 
	The discovery was made after police were called by the apartment
complex to 
	assist in the eviction, Grapevine police Sgt. Todd Dearing said. He
didn't 
	know how long the Louisiana family had not been paying rent. 
	Found with gunshot wounds were a 40-year-old man, a 37-year-old
woman and a 
	14-year-old boy. Dearing said police found a shotgun believed to be
the 
	weapon. 
	Dearing said the scene inside the apartment "had the appearance" of
a 
	murder-suicide, but he couldn't say for certain. 
	He said police were searching for a 16-year-old daughter who they
believe 
	was living away from the family. Identifications were withheld
pending 
	notification of relatives. 
	Dearing said a resident informed the complex Thursday that they
heard what 
	sounded like three gunshots near the victims' apartment. 
	Grapevine police were called to the apartment but left when no one
answered 
	the door. 
	"There was no reason for us to make entry," Dearing said. 
	"They said it was their usual method of not answering the phones or
doo r 
	because they were being evicted." 
	Dearing said the family was supposed to be out of the apartment
Tuesday, but 
	the complex gave the family a few extra days. The family was
receiving 
	assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Dearing
said. 
	Apartment management could not be reached for comment. 
	Dearing said the victims will be taken to the Tarrant County medical

	examiner for autopsies.
