New York murder-suicide
Murder-Suicide and Myspace.com:
Investigators and local police say an apparent murder-suicide in Broome County should be a wake-up call to all parents and teenagers. According to the Broome County Sheriffs Office an 18 year-old Broome County man shot his 18 year-old girlfriend before turning the gun on himself. The bodies were discovered just after midnight at a home in the Town of Sanford. That’s when investigators say the man’s father came home and found both victims dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
When WETM-18 News Reporter Sean Carroll heard about this tragedy he went to the social-networking website Myspace.com to see if the victims used it. Then he called investigators to show them what he found. Even they said what they found on the 18 year-old mans website was disturbing.
When you log onto the Myspace.com profile of the 18 year-old man investigators believe carried out a murder-suicide Thursday night, you hear a song by The Doors called The End. On the page he expresses his love for his girlfriend, the other victim in this tragedy. One quote reads “you shall die free, and into the great force of life we will rest together.” Later on it says, I will be here for you forever and I will have no fear in our death.”
A visit to the girlfriends Myspace.com page reveals, My boyfriend (name) and I have recently found out that we are having a baby…YAY! This is exciting. And scary.”
Broome County Sheriff’s Investigators tell WETM-18 News that the couple had told friends and family they were having a baby together. They also say it appears the couple was fighting inside the Farnham Road home before shots were fired. The exact nature of that argument isn’t known at this time.
Because of the nature of this tragic incident, WETM-18 News is not releasing the names of the individuals involved. The Myspace.com page of the 18 year-old man has already been adjusted to allow limited access to visitors.
We have a saying at one of my other sites. If you’re going to off yourself be a man and go alone.
UPDATE: Thanks to Home Sweet Home we have another article which gives the killer’s and the victim’s names. Their names are Lisa Tyler and Shane Katen.

I can’t believe you would make it out like he was a horrible person when you didn’t even know him. You had no right to go investigate his personal page or hers. You don’t know what happened. You don’t know what type of person either of them was. You don’t know what they’re families are going through. We have suffered enough without having to read about how “disturbing” you think he was YOU DIDN’T KNOW HIM!

Hmmm Lets See Here…
Dude sprays his pregnant girlfriends brains all over the walls of his familys home and then checks his self out of his sorry existence by turning the gun on himself…
I’d tend to believe that qualifies as DISTURBED ! :-O

family always feels no one has the right to discuss their loved ones but once it goes public it’s public and effects all of us who become aware of it. WE TOO have to process it for our own reasons in our own way.
I am terribly sorry for your losses.

Good people don’t kill loved ones. You obviously came looking for this article and just wanted to be heard. yet you are an idiot. Don’t try to be a hard ass on the Internet when you can’t spell common words such as “wasn’t, Angel, fucking, violent” it seems like i could go on and on. It makes you look illiterate, not educated. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you are going to kill a pregnant women then yourself you are not a good person. It takes a monster to pull that trigger. Sorry for your loss, but i am not going to sympathize for somebody who took another life. And if they weren’t meant to be together why were they.
