A loaded gun virtually forces the idea of suicide on its owner.
I didn’t say that; someone much wiser did.
And sometimes, they take an innocent life with them.
In a bizarre and tragic story out of Coppell, Texas, the town’s mayor killed her own daughter before shooting herself.
"The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Officer ruled Wednesday that the mayor's death was a suicide and her daughter's a homicide.
Coppell Mayor Jayne Peters, 55, and her daughter Mary Corinne Peters, 19, were found dead Tuesday evening by officers who had been sent to check on the family's welfare. The officers had gone to the home at the request of the city manager's office after the mayor did not show up for a scheduled council meeting."
Reports CNN.
"CNN affiliate KTXA reported from a police briefing that officers found an envelope containing a note and a key to the two-story house on the front door and three other notes inside the house. Thomas said that 'it appeared to me there had been some thought behind all of this.'
The Dallas Morning News said the outside note warned officers of what they would find inside. Police told the News the notes gave no clues as to what led to the shooting but rather provided instructions on, among other things, how to care for the family's pets. Two dogs were found in the house, the newspaper reported."
WTF?
People are fucked up and dangerous enough. They don’t need guns.
