MATOACA, Va. (AP) A Virginia man shot his wife and their two young children to death on Father's Day and then killed himself, police said.
Chesterfield County police said in a news release Monday that the night before, Barry C. Jernigan, 35, killed his 30-year-old wife, Renotta; his 9-year-old stepdaughter, Alexis F. Kellas; and 2-year-old son, Seth.
Officers went to check on the family at their home just after 10 p.m. Sunday when they heard gunshots and saw bystanders trying to help the mother and the boy outside, police said.
Barry Jernigan and his stepdaughter were found inside the small, white, ranch-style home with a plastic play set on the front porch and trampoline in the backyard. They and the mother died at the scene. The boy was pronounced dead at a hospital.
On Monday morning, neighbors tried to cope with the tragedy while standing near the house with two cars in the driveway that was surrounded by yellow police tape.

Is Facebook now making money by releasing photos from people's pages?
Creepy.

When you sign up for facebook, or most other social media sites, you grant a transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license. Which means that they can license your photos to others for free, without your permission.
If they were making money, it would be a breach of their own contract.
