Dad kills himself in front of daughters
An Aurora, Colorado man suspected of murdering his estranged wife and kidnapping his two daughters was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Brian Patterson, 38, shot himself in a car in front of the girls, Brianna, 4, and Aliyah, 3, in Thornton last night, Aurora police said. He died at a hospital at 10:30 p.m.
Patterson and the girls were the subject of an Amber Alert after Pamela Patterson’s body was found at about 11 a.m. Tuesday in her home on the 17000 block of East Louisiana Avenue in Aurora. She had been shot numerous times.
The girls are safe, Aurora Detective Shannon Lucy said today, and will be placed temporarily “with safe houses and family members” under the supervision of social services.

…I’m sorry,what the hell was this man thinking. That’s insane, not to mention sick, the kids were in the car. Imagine what kinds of emotinoal toll it’s taken on the children. That’s doesn’t sadden me, it enrages me.
