Police cordon off the crime scene after a shooting incident in Covina, California, on December 26, 2008. A ninth body was recovered from the charred rubble of a Christmas Eve massacre as sketchy details emerged about the gunman responsible for the deadly killing spree. Los Angeles County Coroner's office confirmed a ninth body had been found in the wreckage of a home in the eastern suburb of Covina, where a man dressed as Santa Claus opened fire on revelers late December 24. The gunman, Bruce Pardo, 45, burst into the party at his former in-laws home and sprayed guests with bullets before setting fire to the house and later taking his own life.

SUTHERLIN, Ore. (AP) — Detectives are investigating an apparent murder-suicide at a cabin west of Sutherlin, Ore.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called late Monday afternoon after a woman found the bodies of Dennis and Linda Black.

Spokesman Dwes Hutson says detectives believe the 60-year-old husband shot his 59-year-old wife and then himself. He says it appears both had been battling serious medical problems.

The investigation remains active.
