Surgeon battling depression and addiction killed his children, 5 and 9, 'so they wouldn't suffer like he had' - then turned the gun on himself before his wife found all three bodies
A surgeon shot dead his two children and then himself because he was suffering from depression and was afraid they would grow up suffering with the same mental health problems, according to the man's obituary.
Dr Christopher Dawson turned the gun on himself early Saturday morning after killing his daughter Aubrey, five, and son Luke, nine, at their home in North Richland Hills, a suburb of Dallas, Texas.
Their mother, Rachel Dawson, was unharmed in the shooting and found their dead bodies around 6.30am and immediately called the police.
All three are being memorialized today; the children had a joint service at 10am and the husband's at 2pm. Source
