Today I found out why there where cop cars all over the place last night. People we know have died. Not an accident or sickness but by Murder. The gentlemen an old boss of my husband some how got his estranged wife to come to his house where he shot her in the head and then put a bullet into his own. Although shocked at first it wasn't as surprising it should have been. He has been in trouble for years. Swinging moods, drugs and alcohol..Jail. No matter how many times she left she would go back... I feel so bad for their kids... and grandbaby. I just cannot seem to keep it out of my mind, just so sad...

It is sad indeed. What will happen to the kids now. I hope they did not see the incident but even if they did not I think they will still be traumatized right? Poor kids.

No the kids are older and live on their own but still losing both parents is hard especially like this I think...

That is very sad to hear. Unfortunately, around the holidays people get depressed and feel alone and take it out on others. I feel bad for the children as well.

I felt sorry for the lady and kids. I was sure that it would not be easy for kids to forgive their father and I hope he was punishable by the court and put him in jail forever. I knew it wasn't easy to forget what had happened, it was like a nightmare that broke the silence of night and got people scared of the night. I was remembered when my father was drunk and made his own way home at uncomfortable way. I hate to have to see him back home while he was drunk. It's shame on him even if he didn't hurt my mom and me as well, but he often time got angry and talked very noisy like he seemed not feeling sinful and guilty of himself.

He killed her then put a bullet in his own head, no court will get a chance to convict him...

This makes me wonder what he told her to get her to come back. Perhaps he said he was about to kill himself and she came to try to talk him out of it. She may have loved him and hoped he'd turn around some day, even if she knew they could not live together unless he straightened out. It is good the children did not have to see this, but they will still feel it very heavily. If the children are young enough, they may not even understand what happened. How affected they will be probably depends on how close they were to their grandparents. Still a tragic situation.

If I were you I was so sad too. I donot understand why the woman go back many times ? The old boss of your husband has been in trouble for years.why his wife go back or solve the trouble of her husband?

I feel so sorry for the future of the kids and the grand baby. I hope the children will be able to survive and live. The murderer should be put into jail. He deserves it.
