Friends remember siblings shot in murder-suicide

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - January 6, 2012

The Bakersfield Californian reports that 25-year-old David Reis was remembered by friends, family and others Friday at a Bakersfield high school as an avid hiker and Navy pilot with a promising career.

His 24-year-old sister Karen Reis was said to be a great role model and volleyball coach who hoped to become an occupational therapist.

Authorities say the siblings were killed at a Coronado condominium when another pilot, John Robert Reeves, shot himself in the head, and took three other people with him.

Reeves and David Reis were both training as F/A-18 fighter pilots assigned to the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 of the Third Marine Aircraft Wing at nearby Miramar Air Station.
