Trial to begin for father accused in family deaths

JOLIET — After five years, the trial for a man accused of fatally shooting his wife and three children is expected to begin.

Jury selection is slated to start Monday in the murder trial of Christopher Vaughn. The Oswego man is charged with first-degree murder.

Vaughn is accused of killing his wife and children on June 14, 2007. Authorities say he was driving his family in their SUV when he pulled onto a frontage road near Channahon about 40 miles southwest of Chicago and shot them.
