    Psychotic depression, or psychosis episode by some undiagnosed issue, altered state due to substance/meds mix… the mind is a fragile thing. I’ll (hopefully) never fully understand it, but it can happen to “regular” people, given some mix of circumstances.

    Sometimes they’re also just killers with a death wish 🤷‍♂️

      Whatever his problem, he’s the only one who made it out unharmed. It wasn’t a murder suicide, or suicide by cop, or regular suicide. I make no excuses for this coward.

        The father who lost his whole family is the only one we can realistically think about right now, we don’t know much about the other guy and what happened for him to go down that spiral. Sounds like guy was stopped and fought with the dad, so maybe interrupted plans. Or again, he may just be a murderer who took his chance.

        I thought you were asking a general question, not specifically this case. I was therefore answering generally.
