When you factor all of the shooting rampages that have taken place lately in America lately with the fact that just about everybody has wanted to kill someone in their family during a holiday gathering, you almost knew that eventually someone would open fire on their family in the midst of a Thanksgiving Day gathering, and sadly a man in Jupiter, Florida actually did it last night.

Reports Breaking News:

Jupiter Police spokesman Scott Pascarella said seventeen people were at the home for a Thanksgiving gathering when the suspect opened fire. Pascarella confirmed four people had been killed, and a fifth person was injured.

The suspected gunman is identified as 35-year-old Paul Michael Merhige, a family member of the victims. Pascarella said six-year-old Makayla Sitton, the cousin of the gunman, was among the deceased. WPTV NewsChannel 5 reported that Makayla was the daughter of the channel’s photojournalist Jim Sitton.

The other fatalities were identified as 76-year-old Raymonde Joseph, the aunt of the suspect, and two 33-year-old twin sisters. The twins were identified as Carla and Lisa Merhige of Miami.

The 37-year-old brother-in-law of the suspect, identified as Patrick McKnight of Miami, remained in hospital with serious injuries. “He is being treated at a hospital but is expected to survive,” Pascarella said.

Officials say the suspect is believed to be driving a four-door, blue 2007 Toyota Camry with Florida license plate W42 7JT.

America in 2009 is the land of death.
