I know the victim’s wife, and people who were IN the church at the time it happened. I have other reports that said the perp and his wife were NOT “holding hands” — so there are conflicting eye witness reports. I do know that the man who was shot and his wife were sitting at the back.
The wife had excellent relationships with both her parents - and the priest (whom I also know) had said the perp had in past committed domestic violence on his wife, and the police records seem to indicate that past. So PLEASE do not make it sound like the daughter was okay with what the husband did. They also have a young under school age toddler son, who was apparently not present. I know from a source who would know that the daughter went to the hospital with her mom and dad.
I don’t have TV. I like to get to the heart of news stories. I am very annoyed by the “eyewitness” account of how they “felt” during an event.
The singular purpose of my post was to eliminate the fluff crap from the story and get on with what actually happened according to the reporter. And it was in no way to support the veracity of the facts, as reported in the story. The “handholding” is a worthwhile part of the story. If it is wrong, well, that matters to me as well.
Something wierd was definitely going on there, that’s for sure.
