A wealthy attorney who was found dead at his suburban home shot his two young children while they slept before bludgeoning his wife to death and then turning the gun on himself, police say.
Sam Friedlander, 50, was said to be going through a 'nasty and bitter divorce' from his wife Amy, 46, a former vice president of Chase Manhattan bank who had just started a tutoring business in the close-knit community of Westchester, New York.
Police say that Mr Friedlander - who neighbours called a 'devoted father' - shot his children, eight-year-old Gregory and ten-year-old Molly, in the torso with a 12-gauge shotgun while they slept in their bed.
