i cant even imagine the pain and frustration the hudson family is going through dont know what to say, but R.I.P To all 3 who had passed i hope they find who did this massacre..unbelieveable.

There are just no words...

I feel so bad for this family right now. I was really hoping Julian would be found alive. I cannot even imagine what they are going through at this time. My thoughts are with them.

I also cannot believe how rude people can be. When this update was released earlier I checked out Hudson's myspace page and saw some horrible things posted there about this whole situation. People can be completely screwed up!

Gosh poor Jennifer...that's all I can say

I feel so bad for this family, I hope they have all the love and support they need to make it through this.

wow.........

this is so brutal. No one deserves this tragedy. I feel for her right now. I can't imagine...

kia, some people just have no couth. I didn't even go look because I knew what I'd find.

Our violent society makes me sick, I really don't understand why some go around killing other people, it makes me so upset. Jennifer didn't deserve to lose her beloved mother, brother, and nephew. No one deserves to lose a loved one like this. I wish nobody had a gun or any weapon so we all could be safe for the most part.

heartless, only a heartless evil being could kill a child. This is so heart breaking; my thougths are prayers are with the Hudson family.I hope they find this killer(s) asap.

This absolutely devastating; I hoped so much that the little boy would be okay.
I didnot see this one coming..........I don't kow what else to say.

this is so horrible and sad...my thoughts are with her and her familiy....

This horrid, I can't believe some people would have the heart to do something like that I hope they catch who ever did this

sad...my heart goes out to Jennifer.

Was wishing they'd have good news. It's hard to make sense out of why someone would want to murder any of those people, but especially a little boy. I hope it isn't the brother-in-law, because it seems like it would be tougher to cope with having someone who you loved and let into your home do this.

The media should give the family space, because that's a lot to deal with.

just heartbreaking!

I wish I was friends with her right now, this girl is going to need A LOT of support. The people closest to her are gone. I honestly hope she makes it through this. My thoughts are with her family, in fact they have been all weekend.

so sad that someone could kill a child, i was hoping the nephew was kidnapped for ransom, if anything and returned as soon as the money was turned over

This is so horrific !

My prayers and blessings to this family.

oh my god I'm out of words that is so sad

I really hate this word b/c it takes all value away from a humans ability but this dude (presumably the killer) is a real loser...I feel for her and her family....her closest family members are gone so I hope her sister, cousins & friends come together and find a way to get through this...it's so hard and you can't forget and it might get "easier" whatever that means but this is just horrific

How can anybody kill anyone, not to mention a seven-year-old little boy? That is just indescribable.

Heartbreaking truly.. I hope the best for her.

Oh lord... Not even a shred of light in this whole story. How could they kill a 7 year-old boy???
It just shows how cruel life can be. Its frightening and devastating.

I don't really think anything about the killer. These things happen so often. But killing little boy is so disturbing. How can someone get that psycho to do that.. =/

i saw this on CNN earlier that the body was found and they were waiting to confirm it. that's kind of scary and sooo horrible for the entire family. i hope that jennifer is doing ok.

i'm surprised that HSM did so well, but then again, maybe i'm not overly shocked. there's a big following, although i know that my demographic group isn't overly interested.

CONGRATS to dave - that's great news!

poor Amy - she has been keeping pretty low key lately and now she's ill again. that has to suck!

Bono is always getting involved in things like this - i think that it's nice that he's soo well involved in the charity

CONGRATS to Amy and her family - i hope that she's resting up!

The whole thing just shocks me. So tragic and sad. That poor little boy.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was praying he would be returned safely. Let's continue to pray for her and her sister. That's a gut wrenching thing to happen.

I don't even know what to say. This is awful. I got tears in my eyes earlier when I saw on the news that they found the little boy dead. I was hoping they'd find him alive.
Its horrible enough that they killed Jen's mom and brother, but why the f*ck would anyone harm a little 7 year old? This is just cruel.

Wow.
I was really hoping they'd find her nephew alive. I can't believe that this monster did this to their family. That's just awful.

TMZ just reported that the body has been confirmed as his. It makes me sick to my stomach. =(

I am literally tearing up right now. I'll never understand why there's so much hatred and violence in the world.

The worse is that NO ONE in that neighborhood calls the police anymore when they hear shootings, so yeah sadly the community is giving back...to criminals.

so sad. It gave me chills to hear this today. I feel for Hudson and her sister. I hope they catch the son of a b*tch that did this. How can someone even touch a little 7 year old boy? my god...

my prayers are with the whole family.

That's disgusting that this man would kill 3 people, let alone a 7 year old boy. It's just despicable

Congrats to Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn! They seem like great parents to their daughter Violet Maye.

That's so cool that Bono is doing that for the NYT! And for free too!

"Do you want fries with that shake?"
How much more South side killings can I take?
Human life valued less than a Mickey D meal;
Witnessing murders at age 8 still gives me chills;
Gang violence, drug abuse, my schoolmates gunned down;
This little boy's obituary turned my smile into a frown;
My broken heart melts, my tears frozen like freeze pops;
Human life so devalued and reduced to dirt on a mop;
Like J-Hud, born and raised on the South Side of the Chi;
Seen so many die beaten and shot to death all I could do is ask why?
When will human life become more precious than diamonds and pearls?
'Cause all I see is murder victims-little boys and little girls;
Why do the children have to suffer by the hands of a heartless murderer?
Seems like life is less valuable than a cheap 99 cent burger.
The killing must stop, the children must live and play;
Unity is what we need in order to ensure we live to see another day.
Life is the reason why we exist in this Universe so wake up;
Have faith boys, girls, women and men.
In God we must have faith and trust.

The Jennifer Hudson story is just heartbreaking. She seems like such a nice, down to earth girl who is incredibly talented, and what has happened to her is just so sad. I hope justice will be served.

My heart goes out to Jennifer - I mean losing so many of your close family members in one-go and in such a violent way, such tragedy shouldn't befall one person!

It's been confirmed on CNN that the body is that of Julian King, the 7 year old nephew of Jennifer Hudson. Let me say the following that I said on another blog...

First of all, I also offer my sincere condolences to Jennifer Hudson & her family that such a horrible tragedy happened to them; losing those we love os never easy. But there is a great difference between losing someone to illness or accident & murder or suicide…

But I find myself truly shocked at most of the responses I’ve read here & on other blogs… DON’T ANY OF YOU READ/WATCH THE NEWS!? Domestic violence happens far too often in this world every day. It hits ALL walks of life REGARDLESS of race, religion, nationality, gender & sexual preference, age, etc. - The stories I’ve read have been horrible, sickening… All because one person deems the other expendable for daring to be independent & leave their “owner”. In a lot of cases, the perpetrating kills their loved one (wife/lover), & then themselves.

In rarer cases, the abuser kills family members in order to have their “target” live the rest of their lives grieving the loss for the rest of their lives. Case in point: a husband, angered that his wife divorced him, took their 3 kids & shot them in front of her before taking his own life. When the bodies were found so was the note: “It’s her fault; SHE made me DO IT!”

Again, my sincere condolences to the Hudson family for a tragedy NO ONE should EVER have to go through.

Oh, no!! That is so horrible and tragic. My thoughts are with them.
