    You're wise and mature, and are therefore ruining it for the rest of us :stickpoke:

    Sure I'm old, just ask Jedi. Divorce isn't one of the life lessons to go thru, but it's a great thing to get past and tell war stories about. My second wife will strongly disagree with you about the mature thing.

    Update on the story.
    Fatal shooting at church parking lot in Griffith : Griffith Community News

    Summary

    Wife and teenage daughter were in car waiting for son/brother to come out of the school.
    The son was in CCD (after school religious class).
    Husband comes up to car and shoots the wife in head and the daughter sees it happen.
    Daughter runs into the school while Husband takes off on his bike back to his house in Gary. (Wife was living in Chicago and worked at EC Hospital)
    Daughter tells school officials my mom was shoot in the head.
    School goes into lock down.

    Gary police go to husband's house to confront him.
    They find him in the garage and tell him to put the gun down.
    He puts the gun to his head and kills himself.

    Husband and wife were getting a divorce and she had a restraining order against him.
    In court papers the wife alleged the following:
    the divorce wasn’t “going to be pretty" and that "the kids were going to suffer,”.

    Guess he stayed true to his words.

    Situational awareness and a firearm would have been a nice defense.

    Also, what a shame. He ended his own life. But left the girl with traumatic memories that will haunt her. And the son isn't getting off easy either.

    If you want to commit suicide, get some help.
    If you are going to kill someone then commit suicide, save us the trouble and just do the suicide part.

    :faint:


    Why cause I want more details and perhaps learn from those details?
    Even if victim had a gun it would have been ILLEGAL for her to have it with her at the time.
    99% of the parents that pick up their chidlren from that school, park the car (ie. turn it off) and wait for the kids to come out and/or get out of their car and wait for the kids to come out. She was in the car but suspect it was off (ie. not being operated) so she could not LEGALLY been armed.

    The July 01, 2014 law would have helped her had she been armed (ie. allowed to keep firearm in locked car on school property).

    1st, Jedi, you're never going to get an AAR from a newspaper.
    2nd, she was already covered by the law, if she had a license, and was in control of the vehicle.

    And of course males are blameless in divorce. I take offense to that. FIFY

    No.
    But then there is a problem with the "presumed innocent" idea.
    You can't just start locking people up on accusations.

    But, you can't let potentially dangerous people free.

    Where do you draw the line?

    I think, she should have had a gun. Got some training. Maintained situational awareness.

    That being said, she might still have been shot.
    So do we lock up 1000 guys just in case???

    Rhetorical.
    I don't think there is a right situation.

    Spent the afternoon swapping off the 3pt Snowblower off my tractor, mounting the rear finish mower, and moving winter deadfall to the burn piles. Had several large trees die over the winter, some were standing and needed to be knocked over, others were laying down. There is still 1 large tree that is going to take a good amount of chain saw and tractor work to get out of the woods and over to the burn pile. But I got 3 other trees broken up and hauled to the piles.

    Two burn piles, each about 20 feet around and 6 to 8 feet tall. Bring the marshmallows!
