Hamilton, 50, had been shot several times, police said, and Jordan had an apparently self-inflicted wound.

I wonder if the sports networks will label this domestic violence.

The murder was domestic violence, but the suicide was racially motivated.

Isn’t it unusual when the woman takes the active role in a murder-suicide?

I would imagine the frequency is lesser. I wouldn’t be shocked if some in the left label this “gun violence” more so than anything.

More unusual but not completely unheard of. The murder of Phil Hartman by his wife comes to mind.

I don’t think so.

I think it was more a matter of it not being described as such, possibly to keep the levels of it down...

It’s not just the bias. There really is a Stupidity Standard enforced by the leftist journalism “professors”.

"(The 14-month old... Dead or alive? Gee, thanks.)"

"On Monday, police confirmed that Hamilton and Monica Jordan were the deceased. They were the parents of the child found at the scene, who was placed in the care of child protective services."

The adults were deceased, and 14-month was alive and placed in the care of CPS.

Per this article, the baby was unharmed.

“Police said the 14-month old child of Hamilton and Jordan found unharmed at the home was turned over to Child Protective Services.”

Hamilton was shot several times and “a woman” in the home died of self-inflicted gunshot wound.

An initial investigation determined that Hamilton was shot several times and that a woman in the home died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was identified as 44-year-old Monica Jordan, Pearland Police Lt. Patrick Savage said. Hamilton and Jordan's 14-month-old child was found unharmed at the home and turned over to Child Protective Services.
