New Update on a Recent Mass Shooting Murder Suicide

This woman was terminally ill.  This woman's care put a tremendous strain on her family, but you have to wonder about the thought processes of a gun nut that drove him to shoot people rather than seek help, and continue seeking help, until he got what he needed as a caregiver.
Guns make impulses of despair like this,like every other murder/ suicide too easy, too accessible, too common.

Terminally Ill Ohioan Darlene Gilkey Dies On Day Of Son's Funeral: Saw Husband Shoot Relatives

01/15/12 03:06 PM ET LOGAN, Ohio — A terminally ill woman has died days after her husband fatally shot their adult son and her two sisters in front of her at a southeastern Ohio home and then killed himself.
Authorities said the shootings last Monday in rural Logan apparently stemmed from family tensions over the care of the cancer-stricken woman, 59-year-old Darlene Gilkey. She was not hurt in the shootings and was taken to a medical facility afterward.
Her daughter-in-law, Heather Sowers, said Gilkey died Saturday, hours before the funeral for her 38-year-old son, Leroy Gilkey of Columbus.
Another son, Ralph Sowers III, told 911 dispatchers that he witnessed the shootings by his stepfather, Paul "David" Gilkey, who was found dead on a porch. Sowers said his stepfather let him leave the scene because he has children.
