Man shoots wife, then himself in Camby

[bauerr3]

I was surprised I didn't see anything about this on here, but here it is for those around my area...UPDATE: Police investigate Camby shooting as attempted murder-su - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Article was posted at 5:44, I was at the store at 5:15...way too close for comfort. Thankfully the husband didn't decide to take more people with him, but the wife is in critical condition.

I wasn't carrying at the time (shame on me, I know) but this served as a wake up call...30 seconds to strap your gun on, even for a routine 5 minute trip, could prevent a lifetime of grief.

Or a VERY short lifetime. I'm down there all the time as well. "but there is nothing to worry about. Its a nice neighborhood!" Bull.

Terrible situation all around.

More proof that a protective order is nothing more than a piece of paper.

Especially when both parties agree to violate it, assuming that's what happened here.

Impossible, you mean crap happens outside of Indianapolis?

"The couple had a history of domestic violence, according to investigators, and had a no contact order. For some reason, they decided to meet Monday evening anyway."

Sounds like even the writer is confused at the ignorance...maybe one followed the other? That may make more sense than both parties willfully ignoring the order

 

[chipbennett]

This is part of the reason that, if I'm dressed, I'm carrying - inside the home, outside the home, wherever.

I hope the woman recovers fully.

I don't think anyone carrying could have changed the outcome of this.

I don't think anyone carrying could have changed the outcome of this.

Agreed. Not sure why she would meet with him, perhaps she thought she would be safe in public. I hope she recovers, at least he wont bother her again.

People do it all the time....it's extremely common.

Yes, it is almost like they forget that there was a reason for the order.

 

[halfmileharry]

Damnit. I hope she makes out of this and can resume a decent life.
IF it had to happen to anyone why couldn't they pick my EX Wife.

I don't disagree, but had he decided to turn his attention to someone other than himself after he got out of the vehicle...carrying may have made a difference

In this case? Sure.

In other cases, it allows for the police to come an remove someone before things go sideways, violently. It's not magic, but neither is a gun. Having both makes agreat deal of sense in many circumstances.

It might have helped the wife, if she'd been carrying.

And it might have helped innocent bystanders, if the husband had decided to try to take a few more with him on his way out.

 

[Thegeek]

Because she's shown a patern of good choices.....

This sucks.

About 7-8 years ago we had a guy about 5 doors down who shot his girl friend then shot himself. She survived. He did not. I hope she survives.

Prayers going out to her and her family.
