I don’t know where the reporter really screwed up, but this is a very screwed up story.
Was this a suicide pact? Did the mother know she was going to be killed? Why are there first degree and third degree murder charges? Unless I’m missing something, it looks like they planned this, except he lived. It sounds like suicide by lunatic boyfriend.
I could be wrong but it doesn't sound like that to me.It sounds like just another filthy psychopath husband/boyfriend who didn't have the common courtesy to shoot himself *before* he shot the woman.
What? Where do you get the idea of a suicide pact? During the fight, she threatened to take the kids and leave and he grabbed a shotgun and killed her.
