Sorry. Her widower has told anyone who will listen that she had severe, longstanding, mental illness marked in particular by profound clinical depression. I’m sure it’s true that no one was capable of imagining she’d shoot bullets directly into the heads of her four children; but just as surely her husband, and her close friends like you, were aware that she manifested the perfect confluence of symptoms for suicide/attempted suicide. Anyone with eyes in her head would have taken one look at the loaded weapons in that house and tried to remove them.
I hear you. In Wyoming, even with no weapons inside, she only needed to stroll to the sidewalk in front of her house and ask any of the passersby dripping with Destroyer Carbines if she could borrow one for a sec. But this unusual behavior might at least have tipped off her two older daughters that mommy was really losing it now and they should flee.
UD‘s sick, in this blood-soaked country, of people, post-massacre of the innocents, looking everywhere — nasty mysterious God, the lethal difficulty of childrearing — but at the fucking guns.
