Bullet-Hit Baby Survives Family Massacre (Global Warming Suicide Pact)
Source: Sky News

A baby girl has survived for three days with a bullet in her chest as she lay surrounded by the bodies of her parents and her toddler brother, according to reports.
The adults had allegedly shot their seven-month-old daughter and two-year-old son before turning the gun on themselves at a house in Argentina.
The couple, Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, apparently had agreed a suicide pact over fears about global warming.
Their son, Francisco, died instantly after being shot in the back, the Clarin news website reported.
But the baby girl, whose named has not been released, survived the apparent murder attempt after a bullet from her father's handgun missed her vital organs.
Three days after the killings, neighbours smelled a strong odour coming from the house and contacted police who discovered the massacre.
The baby, who was found crying face up in a cot and covered in blood, was rushed to hospital by the emergency services in the town of Goya.
Doctors said she was severely dehydrated but was making a good recovery.....

3. It reminds me of "On the Beach"
The couple were probably in more fear for the future of their children than they were for themselves.

5. This is supposed to be a translation of the original article
Lotero "was engaged in selling 'weeds' and was a healer, making home remedies," said a cousin. Así habría conocido a Miriam cuando ella tenía 19 años y fue llevada por una amiga para ser tratada por un mal estomacal. So have met Miriam when she was 19 and was taken by a friend to be treated by a bad stomach.

Charles Coletti, a poor tobacco farmer in the area and Miriam's father, said the man had left the young family, "was very jealous and barely let her speak, had completely dominated, invoking the age difference "he recalled.

In addition, Coletti said Lotero "was very short with us, spoke little and was driving my daughter." He promised to bring it when they got together, but it did not, manipulated my daughter, since she went to live with this elderly gentleman, changed with us, I had the same attitude, "he told the man who probably now be done by the drink to survive the massacre.

Coletti recalls: "The healer said as little as I could, but every time he entablábamos a speech he made reference to global warming and said that the Earth was going to melt", which coincides with those of a cousin who used Lotero see: "In recent times he looked nervous, ill, very depressed, wanted to stop quackery, wanted nothing more than that."

It sounds like mental illness, combined with spousal abuse. The denialist community has certainly picked up on it though.
