Police in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, remain stumped for answers after a father executed his pregnant wife and two young children and then fatally shot himself inside their home after ringing in

Nicholas Arruda, 39, has been accused of murdering his seven-months pregnant wife, Danielle Arruda, 39, and their two kids, five-year-old Adele and two-year-old Felex in West Greenwich.

A Rhode Island dad fatally shot his entire family — including his seven-months pregnant wife — with a semi-automatic carbine late last week in a gruesome murder-suicide that’s rocked their tiny town.

Four family members who were found dead in a Rhode Island home last week were the victims of a triple murder-suicide, law enforcement officials announced Wednesday.

Police say Nicholas D. Arruda, 39, shot and killed his pregnant wife, Danielle, 39, and their two young children. “My brother committed the most cowardly despicable act one could perpetrate,” Arruda’s brother said.

When paralegal Danielle Arruda didn’t show up for work on Thursday or Friday, police officers went to her West Greenwich home for a wellness check on Friday morning.
