Not on the net yet, but about 300 yards from my house.
7 people were found dead, 3 women, 3 toddlers, and one infant. The apparent murderer surrendered to police after a 4-5 hour standoff. No news as to how they died but the guy supposedly came out covered with blood and the police cheif described the scene as “the most horrific scene he had ever encountered.”
Supposedly this came up as part of a custody dispute that took place last night.
Of course, Mr. Wesson might not even be from Fresno. Neither WhitePages.com nor Switchboard.com can find any M., Mark, or Marcus Wessons in Fresno. Could be he’s unlisted though.
"The nine deaths represent the largest mass killing in Fresno since 1993, when seven people were killed in the Carrillo’s Club murders in rural Fresno. "
The more I read that, the weirder it gets; where there a couple of dozen mass killings in Fresno in the last eleven years in which only six or fewer were killed? Or a couple of dozen before 1993 in which more that nine were killed?
This is the first time I’ve heard about this and it’s absolutely depressing. That festering pile of garbage still has the support of one of his daughters, even after raping her and killing her children. Sad.
I can’t imagine the jury would vote to do anything but give him the death penalty.
