A man shot dead his wife and five children, as well as his mother-in-law, before turning the gun on himself, two weeks after divorce papers were filed, according to Utah authorities.
Police also said that officers had investigated Michael Haight, 42, and his family a “couple of years prior,” over problems inside the household in the small farming town of Enoch.
Wife Tausha Haight, 40, was found dead along with the suspected gunman and their three daughters, aged seven, 12 and 17, and two sons aged four and seven. Also killed was Ms Haight’s mother, 78-year-old Gail Earl.
