Police suspect murder-suicide or a suicide pact in the death of brothers Bryan Gonzalez, 12, and Christian Gonzalez, 10, in California, but they can't be sure. "Whether it was murder-suicide, or suicide pact, unfortunately we’ll never know for sure,’’ an investigator tells the LA Times. “It’s hard to believe, to wrap your head around.’’ The preteens were found with gunshot wounds behind their family home. The case has confounded cops, who say there was no sign of trouble at the boys' home.
