Possibility: 4 November 2022 Marshalltown, Iowa 4 killed. Speeding/reckless driving? [MSN](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/four-children-dead-following-a-car-crash-in-marshalltown/ar-AA13M8cp) It’s hard to see how 4 teenagers would die hitting a utility pole in a standard residential street with a speed limit of 35 mph unless there were major traffic violations involved. [I verified the speed limit using Google street view.] ---

Thank you. That is a good catch. I see the Moscow Idaho killing was a stabbing, further it is not obviously a murder-suicide. 1. 13 November 2022 Moscow ID 4\* killed (stabbed) ([Moscow Homicide Update](https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/CivicSend/ViewMessage/Message/186765)) apparent murder-suicide ---

Sorry, I simply do not track that. Further, there are many incidents that I missed. (I would like to think I am missing fewer now than in years past.) If that information is important to you, I suppose you could use the annual lists and investigate each case yourself. ---
