According to witnesses, the suspect and a friend were involved in a disturbance inside of the establishment, when the disturbance went outside to the parking lot. During the disturbance the suspect allegedly retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and approached the victim’s vehicle, firing multiple shots at the victim.This is certainly an unusual murder-suicide. I mean, usually they're about domestic problems.
The victim was shot one time in the abdomen. The suspect then returned to his vehicle and shot himself in the chest.
Does Louisiana have a no-guns-in-bars rule? Is that why the guy had to go to his car for the weapon?
I suppose the gun-rights extremists will point out this proves that banning guns in bars doesn't work. We might as well just let them have their guns in the bars too.
I say it points out that the guy who did the shooting must have been a "law-abiding" citizen if he left his gun in the car. So, what we've got here is another "law-abiding" gun owner who turns out to be unfit to own guns.
There are too many like him and we're not doing enough to identify and disarm them.
