"Toddler Jane" MAGDZAS-OLES - 13 Months -(2010) Superior WI

Three people were found shot to death Wednesday afternoon in a home in Superior, Wis., police said.
No suspects are being sought and there were no arrests, police added.
Asked whether the shooter was one of three who were killed, Assistant
Chief Charles LaGesse said, "You are making a logical assumption."
Police said they found the victims in a home in the 2000 block of N. 22nd Street shortly after 12:30 p.m.
Public records and social networking sites indicate the home was occupied by Matthew Magdzas, his
wife, April Oles, and their young daughter.
Oles was pregnant and expecting another child "any day now," her friend Angel Johnson said.
In a news briefing Wednesday, Superior police Capt. Chad La Lor said
he believed the victims were found in the same area of the house and
said, "There is a weapon at the scene."
He declined to identify the victims, but said in a Wednesday night
news release that the dead were a 23-year-old male, a 26-year old woman
and a 13-month-old girl. He also said that the investigation indicated
the shootings were a homicide/suicide.
Neighbors recollected that Magdzas had recently returned from a military deployment overseas.
According to Lt. Col. Jackie Guthrie, director of public affairs for
the Wisconsin National Guard, Magdzas' most recent deployment was to
Kuwait from 2006 to 2007.

Iraq war veteran kills family, then himself

A 23-year-old veteran of the Iraq war shot and killed his pregnant wife, their 13-month-old daughter and three dogs before turning the gun on himself, authorities said Thursday.
Police in Superior, Wis., said Thursday that they do not know why Matthew Magdzas killed his wife, April Oles-Magdzas, 26, and their daughter, Lila. Investigators believe the killings happened Tuesday.
Tessa Buscko, a former colleague of Oles-Magdzas, says her friend was due to give birth by Caesarean section Wednesday to the couple's second daughter.
Police Capt. Chad La Lor told the Associated Press that Magdzas did not leave behind a suicide note and that investigators have found no evidence the couple had money problems or was unduly stressed by the pending birth of their daughter. There was no indication either had been unfaithful.
La Lor said investigators plan to subpoena Magdzas's military medical records to see whether he had complained of or been treated for signs of post-traumatic stress disorder.
