    We had a similar "over the top" shooting here in Montana a while back. This couple who were now divorced had gone to their daughters basketball game at her High School. After the game he invited her to share dinner with the girl and he, the ex-wife refused, and he killed her for turning his dinner invite down. At least this guy only killed the ex-wife, not she and the daughter.

    Hi Skipper, heh heh, tis true. I actually met a few about 12 years ago and talk about wierd and not so good-looking people. Literally, they had two teeth in their mouths. One pointing north and the other pointing South ;-))

    Heck, I could have said it a bit differently but, id have been banned because of it ;-))

    If everyone in the restaurant had been armed and trained, the guy would have been lucky to get a second shot off.

    Remember when the police are minutes away, you may only have seconds!

    He waited an HOUR for the Police to arrived before shooting himself? Multiple shots fired, five people killed and it takes an hour for the police to get there?
    Here's another head 'scratcher' :
    No Clues Why Iraq Vet Allegedly Killed Family - CBS News

    An Iraq war veteran who police say shot and killed his pregnant wife and young daughter before turning the gun on himself left behind no clues to explain what might have prompted the bloodshed, investigators say.

    He wasn't in a restaurant. It happened at his home and he chased his wife to a neighbor's place.

    OK, too bad the neighbor wasn't armed and trained then.

    It occurred in a trailer park, and many of his neighbors ignored the first shots completely since they were used to firearm's being shot off in target practice, shooting at varmits and such. They did it themselves on occassion. The neighbor who was victimized may not have been "packin'" but many others were.

    This guy wasn't wound too tight anyway it appears, and was about to be evicted from the court for "erratic behavior" and antagonistic character traits.

    Once upon a time when I was a newly wed, and not yet living back on the farm, my new bride and I occupied a trailer which happened to have a skeet shooting range rigth behind it. One Sat. afternoon as we were sitting down to lunch, there came a strange "clatter" on our tin roof. It was a clear sky, no thunder and lightning, so no hail of course. But we would hear the reports of shotguns occassionally, but the "clatter" didn't seem related. They happened too far apart, but like thunder and lightning the sound and the results were separated.

    I didin't figure the "clatter" out until I looked on the roof and found it almost covered end to end with shotgun pellets. They hit so lightly they were "harmless", but after a few weekends of that we didn't even hear the skeet shooters anymore. It was just a "background noise."

    That said, I can understand how people who are used to the "firing of weapons" to become non-attentive to the noise. That is all I'm trying to convey, the bulk of them probably didn't even think of the sounds as being a threat to life and limb.
