Iraq War Veteran Matthew Magdzas Kills Pregnant Wife, 13 M.O. Daughter & Three Dogs in Apparent Murder-Suicide

Iraq war veteran Matthew Magdzas kills pregnant wife, 13-month old daughter and three dogs before killing himself in apparent murder-suicide.

SHOCK: Matthew Magdzas, a 23 year old Wisconsin National Guard soldier and Iraq war veteran, killed his wife, April Oles-Magdzas, who was due to give birth to her second daughter Wednesday, their 13 month-old daughter, Lila, and their three dogs before taking his life in an apparent murder-suicide in Superior, WI.

Investigators believe the killings occurred Tuesday afternoon, but like friends of the couple, they are still wondering why. Police Capt. Chad La Lor told The Associated Press that Magdzas did not leave behind a suicide note, and that investigators have found no evidence the couple had money problems or was unduly stressed by the pending birth of their daughter. There was no indication either had been unfaithful.

La Lor said investigators plan to subpoena Magdzas' military medical records to see if he had complained of or been treated for signs of post traumatic stress disorder. Source
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and I pray that the military does a better job of helping their soldiers with their re-entry into normal life after serving their country. Investigators reportedly recovered a 9-millimeter handgun in the house they believe Magdzas used. They also reportedly discovered what appeared to be a bomb in a backpack in the house, but explosives experts later determined it likely wasn't and destroyed it.
