Man kills family, self in Maryland town, authorities say

A Maryland man apparently killed his wife and three young children, then shot and killed himself at the foot of the bed where his wife and 2-year-old daughter’s bodies lay, authorities said Saturday. Christopher Wood, 34, may have slashed at least some of his family members in the killings in Middletown. Frederick County (Md.) Sheriff Charles Jenkins said some of the victims had “severe lacerations and cut wounds.” “These are horrific incidents,” said Jenkins, who said he couldn’t remember another homicide in the past 20 years in the small town northwest of Baltimore
