not counted...but should it be?

I have not counted the latest USA shooting because it was committed 'in family'. It was not an random killing spree. Yet the father of three left his mother-in-law, wife, and three sons dead then took his own life. In notes left for the police, he claims full responsibility for the killing. Media suggest the fact the man was unemployed for several months contributed to his actions.

Read the full story here.

Yet should this be added to our list of shootings? While not done randomly, it appears it was done out of desperation. And in total 6 people were left dead...
