A family of Jehovah's Witnesses have been found dead in their South Carolina home after what police say was a shocking murder-suicide.The bodies of a couple - believed to be Sheddrick and Kia Miller - and their two young children were found Wednesday morning scattered throughout the family's two-story home near Irmo. (...)Each of the four was shot in the upper body and a handgun, the presumed murder weapon, was found near the father, Wilson said.He said initial evidence suggested a domestic disturbance. Investigators are checking records to see if there had been any prior domestic violence calls made to the house. (...)Family friend Rachel Hinson, 25, described them as a good family and said the children were both under the age of five.She told the Observer she had attended bible study at the Millers' home and went to Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses with them.'It's confusing, and it's not understandable why something like that would happen,' said Hinson, who's grandmother lives near the home.South Carolina is the worst of all 50 states when it comes to domestic homicides, according to a report by the Violence Policy Center in Washington.
Every year, nearly 3000 children and teens die from gunfire, and nearly 14,000 are injured.
