That's very sad news, as is anyone being murdered really. When they say "shot himself to death"... isn't it kinda implied that he died as a result of shooting himself?

these kind of threads aren't really appropriate for SW, considering many fanboys will make a joke out of something that's not really funny.

you can actualy shoot yourself in the head and not die. I know a guy like that, he wanted to commit suicide and placed a gun at his head but somehow he kinda missed himself and only ended up being blind beacose he severed the nerves with the bullet. Yeah thats basicly failing at failing.

well sad thing to happen, but stuff like that happens every day around the world...

I don't know what to say to this thread! I have to ask why her husbad was so mad or hurt that he needs to kill his wife. I don't know what happen or the story but loss any of life is a sad thing. Even more sad to see a broken family.

Things like this makes me never to get married!

^ Agreed, as seeing fanboys usually have no soul, they usually sell it to the company they love to defend.
