Up to 8 People (dressed as 'Ninjas') Involved in Slaying of Foster Parents

A team of up to eight people masterminded a chilling and deadly break-in at the home of a Florida couple known for adopting children with developmental disabilities, a sheriff in the Florida Panhandle said Monday.

Melanie and Byrd Billings were shot to death Thursday while nine of their children were home. One child left to alert a neighbor, who called 911. Several children saw the intruders but were not hurt, Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said. The others were sleeping.

Morgan said robbery was one of "numerous motives," though he did not elaborate on what the others might have been.

Authorities have already arrested three people and say up to five more may have been involved. Two men described as persons of interest were being interviewed Monday, Morgan said.

8. The facts in this one might turn out to be
kids out to rob a couple, for what reason I can't guess or some cult of ninjas. Cult of 1980's teen ninjas.

7. Sick, sick people whoever did this, but didn't they say that the couple...
owned a few businesses? This could've been anybody from disgruntled terminated employees, disgruntled clients/customers, or just 8 whack jobs. Thank goodness they were caught.

14. 20 minute interview with the sheriff from local news station.

It is obviously very evil, and I hope they catch the people responsible.

8:00 minutes in, it says that some of the criminals are not local, seems to be more then robbery.
