"NOVI, MI — A husband apparently shot his wife and two young sons to death today, then drove a few miles away and killed himself by breathing in poisonous fumes from a charcoal grill he had placed in his car, police said today.
"About 11:30 a.m., Novi police responded to a home on Applebrook Drive near Nine Mile and Napier roads, where friends of a 39-year-old woman were concerned because her two sons, ages 4 and 7, had not shown up for school. The woman, who was having marital problems, had missed a scheduled appointment with a friend.
"Shortly after noon, police entered the home and found an apparent crime scene with three bodies, all dead from gunshot wounds.
"At about 2:30 p.m., the Oakland County Sheriff's Office found a suspect vehicle, a GMC Acadia, parked in a department store parking lot off Milford Road and Interstate 96. It was occupied by the 39-year-old husband, dead from an apparent suicide caused by a charcoal grill he had ignited inside the vehicle. The grill produced deadly carbon monoxide fumes.
"The deaths - believed to have occurred sometime within the past 24 hours - remain under investigation. Autopsies are pending.
"Investigators are pursuing several motives, including that the couple - who live in 2,500-square-foot, two-story brick home - apparently were having financial difficulties. The husband's business recently failed; the wife was an engineer."
