6 Indians die in Murder-suicide in Los Angeles

Associated Press is reporting that 45 year old Karthik Rajaram gunned down his wife Subasri(39), his sons Krishna - 19 year old college student, Ganesha(12), Arjuna(7). He also gunned down and his mother-in-law and then committed suicide. This tragedy took place in a gated community in the Porter Ranch area of the San Fernando Valley.

Deputy Chief Michel Moore told reporters outside the home that

investigators found two suicide letters and a will, and determined that Rajaram held a master's degree and once worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers, a major accounting firm, and for Sony Pictures.

But he had been unemployed for several months and his finances had reached a crisis point in recent weeks.

"This is a perfect American family behind me that has absolutely been destroyed, apparently because of a man who just got stuck in a rabbit hole, if you will, of absolute despair," Moore said. "It is critical to step up and recognize we are in some pretty troubled times."

Rajaram wrote in his suicide letter that he felt he had two options — to kill himself or to kill himself and his family — and decided the second option was more honorable, Moore said.

What is so honorable in this? Krishna, Ganesha, Arjuna, their lives being snuffed out at such a young age....one will never know what they could have achieved in their lives or the potential they had. Sad...very sad...
