Awful. And am I the only one who finds it disgusting that the first sentence in the E! story is "A nightmare for this Dreamgirl"?

The police said that they are searching for a William Balfour as a suspect in the double homicide. They said that he is considered to be armed and dangerous and may be driving white 1994 Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate No. X584859 or a teal/green Chrysler Concord four-door with a left front headlight hanging out that is scratched all along its left side. The Chrysler is displaying temporary tags of 332K823.

The missing boy may be in the vehicle....

At least one of the victims had defensive wounds, accoridng to police....

The shooting was believed to be related to a domestic disturbance, Bond said, stressing that this was preliminary information.

So the nephew was the brother's son according to Fox News. (Don't ask me why this channel is on - it's not my choice)

These are the kind of tragedies that no word can sum it up well enough.

Horrible, sickening, depressing, horrendous...none do it justice.

My thoughts go out to Jennifer and all her family.

This is so incredibly horrible my heart goes out to Jen and the rest of her family!


and what eerily and sadly ironic is that there's a movie she did, that should be coming out sometime either later this year or early next year I think, called Winged Creatures, which revolves around a shoot out at a diner:
