Long Branch fire

Authorities say a 16-year employee of the Long Branch Public Works Department took the lives of his three family members before killing himself in September of last year.

Experts say in most domestic violence situations that spiral out of control, there are signs of trouble before things turn violent.

Authorities in Monmouth County confirmed Wednesday the fire that killed a family of four in Long Branch "does not appear to be accidental."

Several people were left homeless after a massive multialarm fire destroyed a three-story apartment building in a Jersey Shore community.
