Weard.
Many people mistakenly put the muzzle to their temple or under their chin and strike the forward lobe. It makes for an awful mess, but is not lethal.
What is hard to believe is that anyone could do this and be able to keep trying.
It’s too bad he didn’t shoot himself before shooting the others.
I still think they will find that there were many other indications of his instability long before he proved it beyond a doubt.
I have read over the years many cases of people who did violent things, people who supposedly knew them say that the violent act did not seem consistent with their knowledge of the person. In almost 100% of the cases, there were multiple indications of the instability of the person. Maybe he had a brain tumor. Maybe he thought he was the victim, and just maybe, had done a number of things to convince the ex-girlfriend that he was indeed evil and a worthless pig. Just wait, the mud should be flying once the shock wears off and people can remember him better.
The person who called him a worthless pig was absolutely correct.
The lesson to be learned is that when you insult someone, especially someone who is a police officer (whom you believe to be a worthless pig), make sure you can adequately defend yourself.
PS, I am not saying to go out and insult police (or anyone for that matter) and then get them when they try to retaliate. Just be prepared (to defend yourself against the worthless pigs of the world), cause you never know what that someone will do, especially that someone who is an ex-boyfriend.
