Kids Safe, Parents DEAD

"OLIVETTE, MO - The parents of two children are dead after a man shot his wife before turning the gun on himself inside the couple's home, police said.

"Tadesse B. Wodajo, 47, shot and killed Tigst F. Mamo, 35, before shooting himself Wednesday morning in the 9400 block of Indian Meadows Drive, Olivette police Capt. Mike Roemer said. Both were shot with a handgun found at the scene.

"The motive for the killing was unclear, police said, although neighbors told police the couple had been having relationship troubles. Police were not aware of any previous problems at home, in a subdivision north of Olive Road and west of Dielman Road, and had not been called to the address in the past, Roemer said.

"The couple's two children, a boy and girl of elementary school age, are safe, Roemer said."
