From another Source:

"Democratic sources tell News4 that Deeds' son Austin "Gus" Deeds attacked his father
Tuesday morning before turning a gun on himself. Police say Gus Deeds died at the scene."

Why did he stab his father with a knife, when he had a gun? Odd.

[HogsBreath]

Maybe he had a knife in his hand when he cracked, or a knife was the closest thing at hand. Afterwards, he could have gotten the gun out of a safe, car, drawer, etc and shot himself.

Psycologically, isn’t stabbing considered a very “personal” method of attack? Guns are seen as a more distant/removed method. Son intended to inflict horror and pain. Afterwards, couldn’t bring himself to go out that way, so he shot himself. My thoughts. It’s horrible however it went down.

Cop Dramas say that stabbing is more personal. I’m sure they wouldn’t lie about something like that.

[ComputerGuy]

Maybe the father shot the son and then stabbed himself.

Why did he stab his father with a knife, when he had a gun?

It was personal and needed a personal touch.

[sarasota]

Believe murder by knife is referred to as a “crime of passion”. He wanted his father to see him, to feel the pain. Yowza.

Opps. I was close, but no cigar. Suicide never entered my mind.
Darn it! I suck at this game.
