This is shocking and tragic.
Reminds me / What happened to the children who lost their parents a
couple of months ago?

Now u know that was not right ; seems. To me u r a selfish person!!!

Kateri Holmes, it appears that you need some growing up to do as well. By agreeing with Gary Smith's comment shows what kind of person you both are. IGNORANT!!

That was a terrible thing to say. A family full of life is gone and you bring politics into it. You should ashamed of yourself. This could be one of your family members, friends or neighbor. My prayers and condolences go out to the family.

"Caldwell said they have not released a cause of death and next of kin has not yet been notified:...........the house number is showing in the photo and the street is named. Hope the relatives hear of it from someplace other than the internet.

Gary Smith... A family died here. You are an idiot.

So not funny, you need to get a life and have some compassion

Just wanted to pop in and let readers know that these people are family to someone. Please keep that in mind as you leave comments. Thank you.

I can't believe what I'm reading. It could have been a home invasion. Nobody knows what happened to this poor family but this idiot blames POTUS. I guess it's his fault that you are an idiot. Lol. I'm an idiot because of Obama. Wow! Get ready for four more years. Lol.

Some people in this world seem to think that what they say is funny when indeed it shows the world just how ignorant they are.

I have to agree that our government has a lot to do will this. If you read the papers, you will see it is happening a lot more, whole families in suicide pacts. It happened in Tampa this past weekend. Economics play a horrible role and those of you bashing the ones who says it is a democratic thing, needs to rethink this. You all probably work for the government and do not have financial woes. I do not just blame the democrats, I blame the government for rewarding the ones who cause the financial downfall here and treating the middle class who they put out of work as second rate citizens. Illegal aliens have more rights than the middle class American.

And before you say I do not have compassion, please, I cry everytime I see these stories as the innocent children should be spared, but so should the parents. They must of been feeling so hopeless. Where is help for them? I do not see Obama helping anyone other than Muslins and illegals.

If it is proven to be a murder/suicide as a result of having lost his job due to our upsidedown economy.......yep, probably Obama's fault!

THAT JUST LETS US KNOW ,THAT THOSE PEOPLE WHO MADE THESE NEGATIVE COMMENTS,THEY ARE MORE CONCERN ABOUT POLITICS,THEN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE,

Sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts!

Guda....stop screaming. What did I say that is not reality? America WAKE UP!

You are so insensitive..you must ask God to change your heart and thoughts!

Another quick note—profanity is against our terms of service.

It's a TOTAL disgrace for people to make fun of a tragedy -- NO shame -- what a shame

My heart and thoughts are very well founded. Thank you! What has not been founded is this President's plans for recovery. You are now seeing the fruits of it! I reiterate, sometimes the truth hurts!

it doesnt say the cause of death so how do they know there isnt a threat to the community-------its a sad story if it was suicide they should have got help what they did is not the answere

Deborah, you are a pitiful excuse for a human. You as well as these other ignorant fools end your comments blaming the president. Do you specifically know that finances had anything to do with this? Of course. Mental health, drug addiction, relationship issues etc. may have been a factor but you don't know. Therefore you sound stupid. May this family rest in peace and bless the family and friends who knew them. Empathy and concern is the only thing we should be saying, not branching off into political rants that make no sense.

Gary, ur an idiot.

This is a tragedy, and none of us know the cause at this point. All that I am saying, is a man's inability to feed his family sometimes causes "some" people to snap. I pray that we don't see a trend of this behavior. I fear we might, so long as those who are willing to work, and can't, don't seek this permanent solution as a temporary remedy. No one fells worse than me, for the loss of innocent life.

Two words... FREE WILL.
By the way... we must take responsibility for our actions. Obama didn't kill anyone. We all have free will. Easier to blame and whine than take responsibility. I kill my kid and blame the President? You guys are nuts! LOL

Gina....then let Obamah know he didn't personally take out Osama, because he seems to take credit for that as well.

That was actually done by brave men who were willing to put it all on the line. Navy Seals. Not Obama who still has very questionable motives for our country. The proof is in the pudding!

F. Hussein you keep uttering the truth, enlighten me!

get over it yes black man is your president u all need to get a life and have some compassion this is a terrible thing to say when people lost their love ones

What has this world come to? The most sensative time in a families LIFE and all these people who are making such aweful comments.STOP. Take a moment and before you make a comment imagine this is your family.If you cant help by leaving a message of simpathy or hopeor prayers, then dont leave anything at ALL........the next of kin could have kids also readying these rude and aweful remarks.

Tony...here is the cool thing about the truth.....THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH.....I didn't make it up. I didn't write the rules. History will prove out that this President has damaged us more on the worlds stage than any other in history. We are currently a joke in the eyes of the world. We must place a President in office that places our country's interests as paramount!

It's a dang shame some people here arguein over stuff that don't have anything 2 do with this story..My deepest condolences go out 2 the families and friend's.Hope they find out what happen..R.I.P to them all...Gone but never 4gotten

Is that Mitt.......I can't really say? What I can say is "could we possibly do worse?"

Why are people jumping to conclusions ? This could be a sad story of carbon dioxide poisioning considering some people are turning on furnaces as the weather gets cooler.

I can tell you that "steal from the rich and give to the poor" has never worked in any civilization. If so, name me one? What has worked is "give everybody an equal and fair shake (to work and strive) and let the cream rise to the top." This is the foundation our constitution was framed upon!

It's so sickening and becoming very very old. Every comment section of every topic i read inevitably has some idiot that just HAS to say something inappropriate and extraordinarily insensitive. There are quite possibly family members and friends finding out about this here and god forbid they should see the stupid commentary provided by some of our more unintelligent and fearful members of society. My condolences to the family.

Only ignorant, moronic people would turn this into a political forum. The tragedy here is a family now gone. None of us can say what happened...nothing has been released. For you to turn around and blame the President for this is beyond reprehensible and disgusting. Grow up and shut up!

please dont look at the color of the skin but the content and the quality of a good man working very hard for the middle class. Iam not rich and dont want to loose any more than I have to . I believe he will restore with Gods help. He brought the big 3 out of the hole , and the auto plants are running again, Amen .....

The common bi-product of an upper crust is a lower crust. I came from lower crust but wanted more! I did just that! There is nothing that was afforded me that is not afforded every other citizen in America, but you must get out there and bust you butt like I did. It is the American way. So long as the Government has programs to "carry people," there will always be those who "elect" to be carried.

Wow.... This is a tragedy no matter the cause. It could be a carbon monoxide gas leak or something else. This line of comments really worries me about the mental state of the people walking around in this world. Time to have some compassion no matter what the cause and stop shooting first and evaluate the facts before letting the ugly comments fly....

F. Hussein, I totally agree the THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. LIES and GREED are SOCIETIES two worst enemies! We all need to come together and make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! My thoughts and condolences go out to the relatives of these people.

No one has said it was foul play, It is possible carbon monoxide from a malfunctioning heater killed them. Don't jump to conclusions. So lets leave god and politics out of it for now.

Well I see that it could e true espesially if the family was living in poverty,realizing who the president is and knowing it dont really make a diffrence whos the president. america is ruined and for some it seems hopeless well for instance my family . was layed off, homes in forclosure, and we are poor right here in the good ol usa. should we suffer some more or go to e with the lord? maybe if yas lived in our shoes you could see how very ignorant yall are being to reality open your eyes and see the p oor all around you.

My thought and prayers are with their family members. Loosing a loved one regardless of how it happened is never easy.
It is even harder when people find it "appropriate" to make ignorant comments, instead of just paying their respect for the ones who are gone. May God forgive you all

GOD BLESS THE DECEASED IN HERNDON! and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I do not understand why Republicans are bringing politics into a family tragedy ... have I misunderstood this article? Parents have been known to kill their families for many reasons, none of which have to do with the "economy." I'm so sad that posters making political commentary are so myopic .... should I define "myopic" for these people?

FACT:

US Military Suicide Rate higher under Obama than was for Bush
Posted in the Crossville Forum

ITS A SHAME! There are more suicides under obama than there was with Bush!

I am so sad by all these comments about political crap. My first thought after reading this was to hug my child and my family the second thing was to say a prayer for that family. I just can't believe how ignorant and thoughtless people can be at such a heart breaking situation. God bless that family and their family

How in the world is this tragedy the President of the United States' fault??? It just amazes me how people are, number one: so ill informed. President Obama DID NOT create the state of the union; he inherited it from Bush and has been fighting an uphill battle ever since taking office to fix it. The House Republicans shoot him down at every turn! WAKE UP! READ! COMPARE! INVESTIGATE! before you judge. AND number two: didn't you read; CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN????? So, how is it Obama's fault? HUH? My prayers to friends and family and God speed.

Thank you, Erica! What a shame some of these readers are posting such inappropriate words! How would they feel if such a terrible thing happened to them? What a sad tragedy for this family and their loved ones!

If the authorities are saying there is no danger to the community then unfortunately its a murder/suicide....no other explanation except who killed whom...its the mother or the father who committed the murders, the kids are the victims...its looking like the economy played a role in this. What a tragedy.

Pua, Evidently you're a democrat, but we are all AMERICANS. How many definitions of myopic would you like?

A picture of the home, the state, city, and address given in the story. Then they say
the nexct of kin had not been notified!!! This is unbelievable...no respect given to
people anymore!!

My condolences to the families. So sorry for you loss. GBYA.

How dare anyone even think to bring politics into such a tragedy? It's not ignorant, it shows a lack of empathy. How? How is it even possible to bring in politics with this? Who would care about such a thing when people have died? It's a very upsetting and tragic situation, nothing more and nothing less. Please stop trying to twist it into something it's not!

F. Hussein: This is not the time or place 4 U, or your stupid comments. Please try & "Be upper-crust", & have some respect 4 the topic @ hand. It's so loudly obvious 2 all that hear U; that U R 1 of the many that have been entitled/afforded because of the complextion of your skin, & most diffinantly not because of the "content of your character"!
