Sheriff: Texas Teen Kills Mom, 2 Neighbors, Then Himself
cbs ^ | 02/07/2016

Posted on 02/07/2016 7:17:48 PM PST by BenLurkin

A 19-year-old killed his mother and two neighbors before turning his gun on himself in a shooting that brought SWAT and various emergency vehicles to a rural area in Texas, authorities said Sunday.

...

When officers arrived they heard another gunshot. Not knowing whether there were multiple gunmen or whether the gunman was dead, authorities surrounded the homes and began evacuating people nearby.

It was during that search that they found Jacques' body. The family's dog had also been killed.

Mendeke said he called in about 50 to 60 officers from different agencies as well as a Texas Department of Public Safety SWAT team out of caution. Authorities closed the road leading to the property and they stayed there overnight.

I did. Is that his Halloween costume ? He should have painted himself green.

Reminds me of the old Bill Cosby routine.

He said someone offered him some cocaine. He asked what for ? They said “you know man, it like enhances your personality’.

He said, “but what if you’re an asshole ?”

About 70% of her clientele are pot heads.

The question is, were they self-medicating because of their emotional problems or did they have emotional problems because of their self medicating?

Me, I just hug my cat. Maybe we should have cat hugging clinics. :)

She’s a Portuguese Podengo Medio.

Pretty much the same kind of dog but different country.

I love Basenjis

Such cool little dogs.

:)

Nah.

They tried it and freaked out.

I can’t be around the stuff and my friend’s daughter has seizures if she expose to it.

I have seen people lose it, big time.

It’s just a bad scene, really.

I’ve never been into “altered states” stuff, myself.

I can believe it. Had a room mate who started up with pot. By the end of the year she had gone from being a decent person to a total paranoid. I ended up sleeping else where until the quarter ended.

A good friend with a degree and great job went bananas.

Kept thinking black helicopters were following him.

He stopped and is okay now, thank God.

Another friend left her kids and grandkids as soon as Colorado legalized it.

Took off and never came back.

Considering how she adored that brood, I was shocked.

But she adored the dope more, I reckon.

:(

“All these teen psycho killers seem to start off as potheads”

Probably “self medicating,” a symptom more than a cause.

“I dont remember a single teen mass killer back before they developed Frankenpot.”

I’m not up on dope, but I would imagine “Frankenpot” is a relatively new variant.

Would Charles Starkweather (1958, 19 years old, 11 victims) count?

Too much cable news will make a person crazy, so...

Is that the only one? I guess it proves the point that now we have one of these psycho killers every month vs this one 60 years ago.

Ps it seems he had some birth defects that screwed him up
