I just threw up a little in my mouth. Horrific. I can't imagine (nor do I want to!) what their family must be going through right now.

UPDATE 11:26 PM ET: The suspect, William Balfour, has been taken into custody. Hudson's nephew, 7-year-old Julian King is still missing, according to WFLD-Chicago. Balfour is refusing to cooperate with cops or supply info so william has been captured but not saying where the kid is...how horrible. that man deserves to be in the ninth circle of hell for sure.

I wonder if there was a custody dispute. My heart aches for Jennifer and her sister.

I saw on CNN this morning they were showing Balfour's mom yelling for the police to quit harrassing her family. If her son is a suspect, I don't really get how she can expect the police to leave them alone. 2 people are dead and one is missing for heaven's sakes.

Real class act, indeed! But her son's myspace tells it--he's a wanna-be gangsta. I can't see how it would be a custody dispute though; he wasn't Balfour's biological child.

I was just aching for Jennifer yesterday/last night and my internet was down (I got in long enough to put in my guesses for Wilson's TAR game and then it was gone again..) but I really missed coming here to express my sadness for Jennifer and her family. And that poor child

Sounds like Balfour was kicked out of the house and swore revenge, per that snark food link.

"Julian King, age 7. An Amber Alert has been issued for the child, who is 5′ tall, 130 pounds." If that info is correct (I got it from the above link) then that is one GIANT child!

sad part in the story is that ppl heard gunshots but since they hear them all the time didn't bother to call cops, not that it would have helped, I am sure the shots that were heard killed them but maybe it could have saved the boy from being taken. My heart breaks for them, God please bring that boy home safe to him Mom. I really hope he didnt witness the shootings but fear he did

Some happy news... Comedians Amy Poehler and Will Arnett have welcomed their first child, a boy. Archie Arnett was born on Saturday and weighed in at 8 lbs., 1 oz., their rep Lewis Kay said in a statement. "Amy, Will and Archie are all healthy and resting comfortably," Kay said. During the "Weekend Update" segment of Saturday Night Live, Poehler's co-anchor Seth Meyers announced to a cheering crowd: "Amy Poehler is not here tonight because she is having a baby."

Archie Arnett is an adorable name! Does anyone have any word on Jennifer's missing nephew? I came here first hoping to read that they had found him.

Vnicky, I don't know anything... but I've been very worried for the little guy, and sick at heart about it since I first heard. I pray we hear some good news SOON!

lol, merrysea vacanick, they are still looking for him here's a local news clip: abc news chicago this morning on nbc, they said showed neighbors (lots) looking everywhere for him (dumpsters, attics, abandoned bldgs, etc). they said they're not relying on the police, tho the chicago police are searching in cooperation with the fbi authorities are hoping to find clues or evidence at the crime scene
