PERRY, Ga. (AP) - Police say a 36-year-old man shot his two sons
to death in central Georgia and wounded his estranged wife and his
stepfather before killing himself.

Perry Police Chief George Potter said Michael Lee Hill was
supposed to be picking up his sons, 7-year-old Michael Anthony Hill
and 10-year-old Richard Lawrence Hill, for a visit Saturday
afternoon at his parents' home in Perry. Potter said the truck
driver put headphones on the boys and shot them execution style.

He then shot his stepfather, 64-year-old Andrew Hill, in the
chest and chased his estranged wife, 30-year-old Bonnie Jean Hill,
into the yard. Potter said he shot her three times in the back and
leg before shooting himself in the head.

Potter said Andrew Hill is in critical condition. Bonnie Jean
Hill has been released from the hospital.
