Blase Raia shot Brooke Raia in the head before killing himself in a murder-suicide in Greenwood, Pennsylvania, leaving their five children orphaned just days before Christmas.
A Pennsylvania man killed his wife Tuesday before turning the gun on himself — leaving their five children orphaned just five days before Christmas.
Blase, 39, and Brooke Raia, 34, were arguing around 7 p.m. in the basement of their Greenwood home when Blase allegedly fired the handgun on his wife, Logan Township Police Chief Dave Hoover told the Altoona Mirror.
He shot her in the head, a fate cops say he would shortly after inflict upon himself.
The four younger children were home at the time of the apparent murder-suicide.
The eldest returned home from work just half an hour after the tragedy to find his parent’s bodies, according to Hoover.
