| [FOX] A registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal history allegedly slaughtered the mother of his children and their four young kids inside their Kansas home, weeks after police had encounters with him over what the chief described as "erratic behavior." Ronald H. Williams Sr., 53, allegedly killed Kelly L. George, 44, and their four children, Carol A. Williams, 9; Ronald H. Williams Jr., 7; Sarah K. Williams, 5; and Kelly M. Magee-Williams, 3, before making a chilling 911 call Tuesday morning, according to authorities. Williams allegedly told the dispatcher that he had killed his entire family and was preparing to kill himself. Officers happened to be working a traffic crash roughly two blocks away and raced to the Winfield home almost immediately, Police Chief Robbie DeLong said during a news conference. As the first officer approached the house, a single gunshot rang out from inside. With officers initially unable to determine what had happened inside, police backed away, established a perimeter and treated the home as a barricaded situation. Nearly two hours later, officers breached the front door. Inside, they discovered a devastating scene, with Williams, George and all four children dead from gunshot wounds. Investigators also believe the final gunshot heard by the arriving officer was Williams taking his own life. Tonya Asbury, who lives about a block away, told KWCH the killings left her wondering whether something could have been done before five lives were lost. "I hate to say it, but somebody failed," Asbury said. "Somebody in this community failed that family. Failed him and that family." Investigators have not publicly identified a motive for the killings. The scene had a profound impact on the officers and investigators who responded, with peer-support teams and mental health professionals called in to help them process what they encountered. Too late for Williams |
