I am confused by the way this is reported. Did he mistake his son and his ex-partner to be officers who had come to evict him and shoot at them? Or did he hold them responsible for his looming eviction?

Anyway, US really need better gun control. Looks like any nutjob can get a gun there. It is tragic to see a young life ending this way.

Also the fact a mentally healthy person can snap in the heat of the moment.

If there's a gun nearby that can be all it takes.

Death by cop is quite popular in the States.

Sometimes it's even voluntary!
