Colorado Gun Shop Owner Killed Wife, 2 Children Before Taking His Own Life

Colorado Gun Shop Owner Killed Wife, 2 Children Before Taking His Own Life



Police in Colorado Springs allege that a man killed his wife and two of their nine children before taking his own life on Saturday.

According to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, 55-year-old Christof Kreb killed his wife of 26 years, Yvette Siegert-Kreb, 50, and two of their children, Felicity Kreb, 13, and Barrett Kreb, 9.

When deputies arrived at the scene, they found all four family members dead. Police have not yet released the cause and manner of their deaths, nor have they released a motive for the slayings.

According to The Denver Post, Christof was a part owner and registered agent of Specialty Sports and Supply, a gun shop in Colorado Springs. He and his wife were both Army veterans, and she was a retired neonatal intensive care unit nurse.

If by "registered agent" the newspaper meant he was a Federal Firearms Licensee, then he was thoroughly vetted through a background check.

Of course, things can change with a person. I doubt this story will get much more coverage, but I suspect warning signs will be discovered as the investigation goes forward.

Weird, sickly tragic story.

I believe that most of the children diagnosed with dwarfism.
