Johnathan McFarland told a Muscatine vigil Tuesday he would miss his mother, sister and brothers, and said he would also always love and miss his father.
6 family members were killed Monday in what police described as a domestic violence case before the father, Ryan McFarland, fatally shot himself while officers confronted him on a city trail.
4 victims were found at a Muscatine home, while 2 other men believed to be relatives were later found fatally shot elsewhere in the city — one in a home and one inside a business.
Muscatine Police identified the dead as Lisa McFarland, 51, Dakota Whitlow, 32, Austin Harris, 29, Ryle McFarland, 20, Mark McFarland, 16, and Ryan McFarland Jr., 13.
13 mass killings have been recorded in the U.S. so far this year, according to a database maintained by AP, USA Today and Northeastern University; the Iowa case was the sixth family mass killing.
