I don't know if this will make the national news, but it should. Today at about 230pm CST a guy shot his 2 children, ages 4 and 8. Then killed himself. Normally I can turn a blind eye to stuff like this, but this was a military brother. The way I see it, the military is one big extended family. The whole detailed story hasn't come out yet, but apparently him and his exwife were fighting, and as she left (about 230pm CST), she heard several gunshots from the house. When SWAT went in at about 430pm CST, they found the three bodies. It's such a tragedy. And it was about 2 blocks from my house. Please put your thoughts and prayers (if you pray) with the families of those two poor children. They never even had a chance. They won't release the names for 24 hours after the family has been notified,as thats AF policy. But to me, it doesn't matter what thier names were, just that this tragedy happened so close to home for me is what bothers me... You think you'd be safe on a military base, but that obviously isn't true.

Wow, that is really really lame.

you can see my house on the vids too....that was the wierd part for me.. it didn't really hit that it was close till i saw my house!!!

didnt even read your post.. was distracted by your avatar pic

The fuck is wrong with the world now a days?

i think i would have been the crazy mom that would have ran back in the house...fuck if he has a gun and is shooting. my kids are in there...

We had something similiar happen at GFAFB. But it was the mother that shot her husband so she could marry his NCO.

Such things do happen but we don't appreciate them until they are so close to home. Did you know any of them or just that they lived nearby?

Don't know yet. they haven't released the names yet...

When I read about stuff like this, I can only think: get a divorce, off yourself, but leave the spouse and kids alone. He must have been completely out of his mind to do such a thing. Obviously, the wife never thought he would, either, or she wouldn't have left the kids with him.

That's so awful... sending good vibes...
