A Mount Airy cabinetmaker and maintenance worker found dead Friday evening in his home along with his wife and two children shot them in their sleep before killing himself, state police said Saturday.
Charles L. Dalton Sr., 38, shot his wife, Jennifer A. Dalton, 37, their son, Charles L. Dalton Jr., 14, and daughter, Emmaline E. Dalton, 7, each once in the head Thursday night or Friday morning with a .12-gauge shotgun, said state police spokesman Greg Shipley.
Police found the children lying in their beds in separate bedrooms on the front side of the house on Contour Road. Jennifer Dalton and Charles Dalton Sr. were found in the master bedroom in the back of the house — Jennifer was in the bed and Charles was lying on the floor next to it. The gun was found next to Charles Sr., according to police.

Stumble It!
When a woman commits a despicable crime (i.e.Andrea Yates), “experts” attempt to diagnose her reasons for doing something so terrible….to the point where she becomes almost sympathetic.
Men killing their families or coworkers then themselves seems to be a regular occurance, and its almost always because of a woman, or him being dis-empowered in some way to the point of desperation….but few people care why.
You would think by now that there would be some outlet, some social program made loudly available for guys on the edge.
