Six people were found fatally shot in a suburban Dallas home early Monday after police say two brothers made a pact to kill four family members and themselves. The Dallas Morning News reported that Farhan Towhid posted a link to the letter on Instagram, but the account has since been disabled. Nearly half of those — 217 — were mass killings where someone killed their family members, he said. He said that of the 217 family mass killings, 207 involved a single perpetrator. The only other family mass killing recorded in the database that involved siblings was a 2015 slaying in Oklahoma.
