Massacre in NY:5 people found shot to death inside home
Joe1orbit
Hello,
Looks like we have another mini-massacre on our hands. Over in New York, five
people have been found shot to death inside of their home. The bodies were
found just a few hours ago, and so details are very sketchy. About all we know
is that five human beings were shot to death, some adults and some children.
Police are obviously investigating whether this might be a quadruple
murder/suicide, or the even more fascinating possibility that someone killed
all five of these people, then fled the scene and remains at large. Police were
apparently called by a relative who lived in the two family house.
More details to come, as soon as they cross my precious news wires.
Take care, JOE
The following appears courtesy of today's Associated Press news wire:
YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) - Five adults and children were found shot to death today in
a two-family house.
Yonkers Police Commissioner Donald Christopher said the bodies were found this
morning. He had no further details.
Donna Shine, who lives across the street, said her husband was leaving for work
at about 5:30 a.m. when ``he heard a bang, bang.'' He waited outside a while,
heard nothing else and ``figured someone was fixing a jammed window or
something.''
At about 10:30 a.m., Mrs. Shine watched as police began to take out bodies.
``A tiny body is coming out,'' she said by telephone. ``That must be their
little girl,'' who was perhaps 7 or 8 years old.
She said a relative of the victims who lived downstairs apparently called the
police.

Hello,
Here is an update on our brand new family massacre case out of New York.
Police are now confirming that there was indeed a familial aspect to this
morning's shooting rampage that killed five people at a house in New York. They
are also stating that it seems virtually certain that this is a quadruple
murder/suicide incident.
It is believed that a 53 year old fellow named Patrick J. Biller did indeed
slaughter his wife, and ALL three of their children, aged 20, 14, and 8! Wow,
nice age range there. Patrick shot them all very early this morning, and then
shot himself to death. The gun used in this shooting rampage ws recovered
inside of the house, right next to Patrick's body.
Neighbors say that 53 year old Patrick had recently undergone heart bypass
surgery. A former co-worker tells us that our quadruple murderer had quite a
bad temper, and sometimes cursed at bosses and "exploded" at people. Well, the
REAL explosion came this morning, and caused four deaths. I think it's
fascinating when a fellow goes to all the trouble of "creating" a family, wife,
kids, etc... Thinking that this will bring him happiness, because of the fact
that society tries to FORCIBLY DOMESTICATE men by convincing them that there is
something "worthwhile" about having a family. And then, as the years pass by,
he realizes that all this was a LIE. He was MOLDED by his society into taking a
life path that offers nothing important or valuable. He just wasted his whole
life working, and giving away his money to the kids. To the "next generation".
How insane!
Suddenly one day, perhaps after a life threatening open heart bypass surgery,
the husband & father RECOGNIZES that he has wasted his entire life, and that it
makes MORE sense to KILL all of his children and his wife, then it does to just
keep up the insane charade that there is some type of value in slowely dying
out yourself, and "passing the torch to the next generation".
Anyway, Patrick certainly did accomplish his mission this morning with
perfection. He successfully killed all four of his family members, then
himsel;f. No messy wounded folks at this crime scene. Just 5 dead folks. I
wonder whether Patrick shot them all in the head? That seems the best way to
go, to ensure fatalities. Although there is no reason to be stingy with the
ammunition in this type of a family massacre situation. Best to pump 3 or more
bullets into each person, if you want to be 100% sure of achieving fatalities.
Take care, JOE
The following appears courtesy of today's Associated Press news wire:
YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) - A man shot and killed his wife, three children and then
himself early today in a tidy neighborhood of two-family homes in this suburb
north of New York City.
``All evidence suggests that the events which transpired in the second floor
apartment were the result of a murder-suicide,'' said police detective Capt.
George Rutledge.
Police went to the home shortly before 6 a.m. and found the five bodies. They
had to force their way in.
Rutledge identified the victims as Patrick J. Biller, 53; his wife, Maureen,
49; and their children, Patrick Jr., 20, Erin, 14, and Courtney, 8.
Donna Shine, who lives across the street, said her husband was leaving for work
at about 5:30 a.m. when he heard ``a bang, bang.'' He waited a while, heard
nothing else and ``figured someone was fixing a jammed window or something.''
``I'm shocked. We're all shocked,'' said another neighbor, Louis Kara. ``A
friend of ours down the street remembered the little girl, and she started to
cry. It upset her something terrible.''
Biller worked as a phone company technician, said Brian Abdallah, a former
co-worker.
``I was scared of him,'' Abdallah said. ``He was unpredictable. He had some
temper. He explodes at people. He cursed at the boss and walked out of the
office.''

The following appears courtesy of today's Reuters news wire:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A man shot his wife and three children dead Friday before
shooting himself in the family's apartment in Yonkers north of New York City.
``Preliminary investigation results indicate the father shot his family and
then shot himself,'' Yonkers police spokesman Lt. Thomas Lagala said. ``At this
point the investigation suggests a murder-suicide.''
Police identified the gunman as Patrick Biller, 53. His wife Maureen Biller,
49, and three children Patrick Jr., 20, Erin, 14 and Courtney, 8, were all
found dead in the apartment shortly before 6 a.m. EST.
Local radio quoted neighbors as saying Biller recently underwent heart bypass
surgery and was soon expected to return to his job at a telephone company.
The police spokesman said the gun had been recovered but declined to specify
the type. The five bodies were taken to the Westchester County medical
examiner's office for autopsies.
