Man Loses Job, Kills Family (Wife, Chidren); Turns Gun On Self

On Tuesday (Jan 27), at least five people, some of them children, were murdered allegedly at the hands of a California man who may have been having trouble at work.

Reportedly, the deaths were discovered after medical technician Ervin Lupoe, the dad and alleged killer, faxed in a note to a TV station that he was going to kill himself and his family and his wife after both had just been fired from their jobs as medical technicians for the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in West Los Angeles. Shortly after, the man apparently executed his wife, his five young children and then committed suicide.
