An Ohio man allegedly shot dead his wife and three kids before turning the gun on himself in a horrific murder suicide that left his family and friends in disbelief. Elyria Police released a statement Thursday saying the incident was a murder-suicide, with John killing his wife and children before turning the gun on himself. 'About 5.20pm, I heard what sounded like firecrackers going off like 'pop pop pop pop pop,'' neighbor Enetta Hubbard said to News5Cleveland. On Thursday, Elyria Schools Superintendent Ann Schloss confirmed the Nelson children as having been the victims of the apparent murder-suicide. The mayor of Elyria - which is located southwest of Cleveland - also paid tribute to the Nelson family.
