From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A 22-year-old man who was acquitted five years ago of shooting his parents to death shot and killed his brother and three other men as they watched television, police say. Fort Wayne Police Sgt. Nancy Becher said Joseph Corcoran admitted walking into the living room and opening fire because he thought the four were talking about him. Among the dead were his brother James, 30, and his sister’s fiance, Robert Turner, 32. The sister, Kelly Nieto, was not home. The latest shootings forced Nieto to look at her parents’ slayings in a new light. “I knew right then and there that he killed my parents,” she said after hearing that her brother and fiance were dead. “I know he did it. I’ve cried so many tears, I’m dry. Everything’s gone. He’s ruined my life.” Corcoran was held without bond.
