of someone being put in such a position. This is traumatic for all involved and the apartment is a mess with blood and tissue splattered everywhere. The kids are going to remember this for a long time; the sounds the emotions and the smell of blood. It's the smell that lasts the longest and triggers the deepest trauma.
Why did the ex have access to a gun? It's not clear from the short article if he fit the profile but even if he were guilty of domestic abuse in the earlier relationship there isn't a mechanism for disarming a domestic abuser. Shouldn't there be?
Also keep in mind that in any given situation like this the woman is 5x more likely to be shot with her own gun than this 'happy' ending.
There ain't no way to put lipstick on this pig for anyone involved. Instead of celebrating death, however 'justified', we should work on preventing it.
