The Associated Press GUSTINE, Calif. - A man who was seen arguing with his wife Tuesday later killed his four young children in their home with a hunting rifle before turning the gun on himself, officials said.
The children apparently died of gunshots to the head, and their father, Trevor Branscum, 38, died of a self-inflicted wound, Mayor Jim Bonta said. |

ClarionLedger.com July 3, 2006 Mayor Frank Melton has decided to extend the state of emergency in Jackson for the second time, Cmdr. Tyrone Lewis said Sunday.
Melton has said the emergency proclamation is the most effective way to fight crime, which has increased since he took office a year ago. The order, which originally was signed on June 22 for a five-day period, will be extended through Friday. Under the proclamation, minors are subject to a 9 p.m. curfew on weeknights and 10 p.m. on weekends. Melton said it will continue until people in the community let him know they are "safe and secure." When asked when that will be, Lewis answered, "until he (the mayor) is comfortable that the community is comfortable. He will make that decision." |

AFP July 5, 2006 KABUL - Bombs ripped into two government buses in the Afghan capital Kabul during the morning rush hour Wednesday, killing one person and wounding more than 40 others, most of them army officers, officials said.
The blasts caused by explosives packed into carts were among around four detonations in the city, the NATO-led military force said, without providing immediate details of the other explosions. It was the second day in a row that bombs have exploded in tightly-guarded Kabul, which is normally relatively immune from the Taliban-linked violence blighting the south of the country. |
