"her mother-in-law had lived at the home on a permanent basis" -- I think I can see some circumstances that might have driven him to this.

Or it could be just another case of "a$$hole cop syndrome" , like the movie shooting in Fla. , etc.

A police officer shot dead his wife, two children and mother-in-law before turning the gun on himself, authorities said today.

The bodies of Joshua Boren, 34, Kelly Boren, 32, Joshua Boren, 7, five-year-old Haley Boren and Marie King, 55, were discovered in a gruesome scene at their home in Spanish Fork, Utah on Thursday.

Police said the five were found dead about 11pm when co-workers became concerned that Boren didn't show up for his night shift as a patrol officer at the Lindon Police Department.

Marie King, 55, was also found shot dead at the home. The mother-in-law had lived at the home on a permanent basis

Police who looked through the window saw blood on the carpet and shell casings in the front room of the two-story home, police said.

When they went inside, they found Boren's 55-year-old mother-in-law Marie King dead in a bedroom, and Joshua Boren and his immediate family dead in the bedroom next door.

Police refused to share further details about the crime scene.

This is really sad.

The frustration is growing all around the world.

I lived in a city that rotated the policeman and fireman. Maybe monthly?

It seemed like a great idea to relieve some of the stress of always having to look for the bad in people. That has to really be tough thing to do as an occupation with no relief.

There is good and bad in everything. Ideally I think it would be nice to travel through life grasping at the good.

Sad that the family died but I've gotta say, better his own family than somebody elses.

"Only the police should have high-powered semi-automatic assault weapon machine guns with high capacity magazine clips"

I see it going this way. At some point in time.

Just before the confiscation of weapons of civilians, more than likely during it, there will be a confiscation of police officers while not on duty. Guns can only be checked out and latter turned back in. There will be special dispensation for loyalists.

This will come under the common good promotion of ferreting out the "bad" apples. Eventually there will be a MSM reporting on police abuse. It will be used for a purpose though.

"The mother in law, wife, and two children will be posthumously charged with resisting arrest and obstructing an officer, their silence is an admission of guilt since they have not invoked the 5th amendment.
The officer will be awarded a medal of valor for his service to the community and bravery in the line of duty."

It's sad when I could actually see something like this happening in today's society.

The OP title is misleading. This is not a "mass killing spree", this is a murder/suicide.

The title sounds like some cop went crazy and killed a bunch of people in a mall/theater/streets. A murder/suicide is close up and personal and is a whole different element- and is not a "cop thing."

Have a friend who was raised by his grandparents because his father killed his mother and then committed suicide.

It is a mass killing - but it is not a killing spree.

A "mass killing" is defined as the murder of four or more people in the same place - so this qualifies.

But it is not a killing spree, which is defined as the murder of two or more people in at least two different places as part of a single, continuous "event."

Why is mother-in-law emphasized? I believe its a poor attempt at humor from the poster.

Update: Police: Officer who killed family had raped wife


SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah police officer who killed his wife, their two children, his mother-in-law and then himself received text messages from his wife just hours earlier threatening to leave him and take their kids and confronting him for raping her, new documents show.

A Spanish Fork Police report shows Joshua Boren and his wife exchanged heated texts the night and morning before the January killings.

In them, Kelly Boren confronted her husband about raping her and told him their marriage was over, The Deseret News reported (http://bit.ly/1oC8lWG ). The couple already had been separated for some time.

Joshua Boren's therapist told authorities that Boren drugged his wife and videotaped himself sexually assaulting her on more than one occasion.

(WTF? And this therapist did....nothing? p4p)

Kelly Boren learned of the assaults when she discovered the tapes in 2013, said Spanish Fork Police Lt. Matt Johnson. She told a few friends, but she did not report the assaults to police because she didn't want to ruin her husband's law enforcement career, the report says.

(With friends like that.... p4p)

The night before she was killed, Kelly Boren brought up the alleged sexual assault again, texting the word "rape" to her husband four times, the documents show. "I hate my life because (of) you," she texted. "You killed a part of me."


She wrote in another text: "I don't want to live in fear and hate and anger."

The next morning, Kelly Boren told her husband she would take the kids, prompting Joshua Boren to reply by text: "Don't involve the kids, they are innocent."

The police report says Joshua Boren was sexually abused as a child, struggled with drug addiction as a young man and pornography addiction throughout his life, and had a deep-rooted hatred for his mother.

After his father committed suicide when he was 5, Joshua Boren's mother began using drugs and seeing several men, the report states. One of those men allegedly abused Joshua Boren, and he blamed his mother for not protecting him, his sister told police.

The therapist told police Boren was like a "3-year-old boy stuck in a big man's body."

(Perfect candidate for a slot at the slop with other pigs..... p4p)

"Josh was a very troubled individual that felt like he was about to lose his wife and children," police wrote in the report.

Joshua Boren had worked for the Lindon Police Department for only three months when the murder-suicide occurred. Before that, he was a Utah County sheriff's deputy for seven years, Johnson said.

He used the service weapon he was given for his duties as a Lindon police officer when he killed his family members and himself, authorities said. Toxicology reports from the autopsy show he had no drugs or alcohol in his system.

Police said the state medical examiner confirmed what investigators believed: Joshua Boren shot his wife, 32-year-old Kelly Boren; his 55-year-old mother-in-law, Marie King; and his two children, 7-year-old Joshua "Jaden" and 5-year-old Haley, before killing himself.

The shooting happened at the family's home in Spanish Fork, a city of about 37,000 located 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. The events stunned the community, as well as friends and family, said Johnson, who added investigators didn't find anybody who suspected Joshua Boren was capable of such an act.

Though Joshua Boren wasn't living at the house, friends and family said he still came every morning to get the kids ready for school and preschool, Johnson said. He also picked them up every afternoon.

"He was praised as being an excellent father," Johnson said.
