Really sad story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8078828.stm
Eight members of the same family, including three children, have been shot dead in a flat in the southern Turkish city of Adana, officials say.
Adana Governor Ilhan Atis told NTV television that a man had been arrested and had confessed to the killings.
The victims, who were shot in the head, were the suspect's parents, sister, brother, sister-in-law and three nephews, the Anatolia news agency said.

So much sadness, so much suffering.
Could we all please offer a quiet word of thanks that we have been fortunate in this birth, to find the Triple Gem?
