A Family of 7 Die in Ohio Trailer Seven members of a family were found dead inside their burning trailer early Monday in what police said appeared to be a murder-suicide. ''Somebody in that house we feel was involved in firearms, and the last man standing probably set the fire,'' Noble County Sheriff Landon T. Smith said Monday afternoon. The bodies of Richard Pangle, 37, his wife, Sheryl, 29, and their five children ¡ª ages 5-12 ¡ª were found after a report of a fire about 3 a.m. Monday. An automatic pistol and three shotguns were found near the bodies of the parents, and the oldest daughter was in the living room where spent cartridges were found, Smith said. Authorities would not say who they believed committed the slayings.
