d0ubleplus's Journal: PC World Editor Slain at CA Home

"A senior editor for PC World Magazine was fatally shot in his home in what authorities said Wednesday was a drug-related attack. Rex Farrance, 59, the San Francisco, California-based magazine's senior technical editor, was shot in the chest after four masked men broke into his home Tuesday evening, Pittsburg police said. The assailants also pistol-whipped Farrance's wife, Lenore Vantosh-Farrance, 56, a registered nurse. She called 911, but the attackers fled before officers arrived. No one has been arrested, officials said.

'We have substantial reason to believe that the victim and his wife were involved in the possession and, potentially, the distribution of illegal narcotics,' said Pittsburg police Inspector John Conaty, who declined to specify what type of drugs were involved."
