Sad. I don't doubt that more of this will happen in the near future though...

He killed his family because he was crazy. Money woes was just an excuse.

^you are right sir. but what if the lack of money drove him crazy?

Then he was still already crazy. Plenty of people live their lives in poverty without killing their families.

This one was crazy for a long time, just waiting for a trigger.

Yes, you are right. I'm just saying that the economy could have something to do with people going crazy. Not that they aren't crazy already but it could be what pushes them over the edge.

Just because some nut shoots his family doesn't make it worth posting about here. That's a "crime log" item not RKBA or firearms.

Consider that every time someone uses a gun in a crime there may not be any news there. What is worth discussing is whether it was SD or some sort of unusual firearm was used or that the shooting was so unique that it makes it worth analyzing.
