Four children and three adults were found with gunshot wounds at a home in Osmington, near the town of Margaret River in Australia's southwest.
Katrina Miles Cockman and her four autistic kids aged 8 to 13 are among seven found dead at a remote farmhouse in Australia this morning. Two other adults were found dead outside the building, but they are yet to be identified.

Police found the bodies with gunshot wounds at the property owned by Katrina's parents, Cynda Miles and Peter Miles, in Osmington. Katrina lived on the property and home-schooled her kids on the farm

The killing comes a month after Katrina took to Facebook to write: "My ex does not stop stalking me."
Police are treating the incident as a murder-suicide and investigators were not looking for a suspect. Western Australia state Police Commissioner Chris Dawson described the incident as a "significant tragedy". He said two firearms were found at the scene and confirmed that at least some of the victims suffered gunshot wounds. Police said they went to the property after getting a telephone call at about 5.15am this morning by a "male person" connected to the property.

The shooting is thought to be the worst mass shooting in Australia since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, which claimed the lives of 35 people and seriously injured 23 others.
Katrina has been described by friends as a devoted mum who worked tirelessly to provide for her daughter and three sons.
Speaking about Katrina, a friend told The Australian: "I always admired her for her strength. The kids were kind, gentle, smart and beautiful children."

An investigation by the HSE found that Mr Sembi was removed from the Gas Safe Register for failing to meet competency standards. Despite this, he continued to carry out unsafe work on gas appliances despite it being an offence to work without Gas Safe Registration and in contravention of an enforcement notice. ...

7-month-old baby miraculously survives after being thrown off a 118ft bridge by her mothe

A seven-month-old baby miraculously survived after being thrown off a 118ft bridge by her mother in north-east Brazil. Carla Regina Mendes, 23, threw baby Thayller over the railings on José Sarney Bridge, in Sao Luis, north east Brazil, on Sunday afternoon in front of shocked passersby. The child landed into the swampy river below the bridge and was already sinking when two quick-thinking off-duty police officers plunged into the mud and rescued her.  Officers Danilo Pestana and Herberth Ribeiro were returning together from football training around 2pm on a motorbike when they noticed a commotion and their timely intervention saved the child. Officer Pestana told local media: "It was difficult to locate the baby, we could only see her head sticking out of the sludge. We could see she was being suffocated and that mud was in her mouth. "The mud hampered our movements. It slowed us down and it was hard to get through. But as we got closer to the child, ...
