You reminded me of an episode in the Speedway shopping center parking lot about 45 years ago. 3 men met, 2 of them related, a single shot was fired, someone was hit. According to the ABC, NBC, CBS local affiliates, person A was the shooter, person C was the shooter, person A was shot, person B was shot, person C was shot. If you combine the 3 news stories, then it was possible that 2 people shot themselves.Just a point of order, none of us really know what happened. Every single "it's justified" or "it's not justified" is based strictly on the supposition of what happened based on a media account.
I'm sure folks are tired of hearing me say this, but media accounts are often so wrong I sometimes don't recognize my own cases on the news until a name is mentioned. They care about being first and about generating attention (controversy), not about being right.
