Two dead, two missing. A grandmother, mother, and two children are the likely victims.
CNN's full story.
Also it turns out there was just one pilot, I guess somebody must have seen some debris after the pilot ejected and thought it was someone else.

No offense, but I think it's BS that he ejected over a neighborhood. If you are a pilot you gotta find a safe place to put that down, even if it takes you with it. You signed up for the military, people in the house didn't.
Maybe there was absolutely nothing he could do and it was just going down, but really if he had any control over that thing at all he should have found somewhere to ditch it.

That just plain sucks. There you are, just watching the television, then you think "Huh that sounds like a low flying jet" then all of a sudden bam, out of nowhere a freaking jet plane comes tearing through your living room and then you're dead.

I used to live around there. Weird the pilot couldn't find an open area to crash it, must had been super out of control.

I'm inclined to agree...especially since this is a military crash. This happened here in Oregon a few months ago and again children were killed...but in that case the pilot did stay with the plane. I have to believe the plane was so completely out of control that there was nothing he could do, though. I'm sure we'll know more soon.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
My brother thinks it's more likely that it was shot down rather than the plane malfunctioning/pilot error.
My brother is a god damned moron.

Pretty sure controls must have been all fucked up or something, no way a pilot would just randomly eject and not aim the plane away or something.
Sounds like four are dead.

The father and husband of the victims is giving his teary press conference live right now and it's being drowned out by the sound of fighter jets flying overhead.

Wow...I can't even imagine the type of anguish I would be in
Talk about losing everything. Lose your wife, your kids, your house, your mother...my goodness that is fucking sad.

Yoon named the victims as his infant daughter Rachel, who was born less than two months ago; his 15-month-old daughter Grace; his wife, Young Mi Yoon, 36; and her 60-year-old mother, Suk Im Kim, who he said had come to the United States from Korea recently to help take care of the children.
Fighting back tears, he said of his daughters: "I cannot believe that they are not here right now."
"I know there are many people who have experienced more terrible things," Yoon said. "But, please, tell me how to do it. I don't know what to do."
Yoon's minister, Daniel Shin, told reporters the Yoon family had moved into the house a little more than a month ago. He said Yoon came to the United States in 1989 and had since become a naturalized citizen. Yoon works as manager of "a variety store -- a store where they sell a variety of things," Shin said.
Yoon spoke softly when he talked about his wife.
"It was God's blessing that I met her about four years ago. She was a lovely wife and mother," he said.
His voice fading, he added: "She loves me and babies. I just miss her so much."
