Kids Watch As Mother Murdered At Bus Stop

"LAPORTE COUNTY, IN ― Two people who died in an apparent murder-suicide Tuesday morning have been identified.

"Police say 40-year-old David Streeting shot Tonya Early, his long-term girlfriend, in the chest while she was waiting for a school bus with their children just before 8 a.m.

"Early died there at the intersection of 425 West and 1000 North, just east of Michigan City. Streeting fled approximately half a mile away and shot himself in the chest before police could reach his vehicle.

"The school bus ― with children from Springfield Elementary onboard ― pulled up just as Early was shot, say police. The bus driver was one of the first to call 911.

"School officials have notified parents of the children on the bus. They are currently using crisis counselors to speak with the kids individually and in groups.

"The two children of the couple ― one is 8-years-old and the other 10 ― witnessed their mother’s murder. They are now safe with their grandparents."
