Vogel's Violence

"Newlyweds found dead in murder-suicide" April 10, 2012|By Peter Schworm

HOPKINTON - On Monday morning,  Todd Vogel and his wife were found dead in their home, fatally shot in a murder-suicide. Vogel, a 43-year-old electrician, apparently shot his wife, Lori Levangie, 41, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said....

Gerard T. Leone Jr., the Middlesex district attorney, said it was not clear what precipitated the shootings, and neighbors said the couple, married in November, had seemed content. Police Chief Richard Flannery said there had been no reports of domestic violence.

The homicide was the first in Hopkinton, a suburb west of Boston, since 2006, when Neil Entwistle killed his wife and 9-month-old daughter, authorities said.
