1. News now both are dead.

8. I am very sorry to hear that.

Although the police are often unpopular on this board, I do not share that unfounded opinion that they are "all bad". A local policeman was buried yesterday. He was an Iraq vet and the father of a young son.

9. Yeah i have a healthy respect for the police.

This is so sad!

2. Maybe this shooting is a backlash to the ongoing national abuse by cops issue.

The cops need to establish a standard of practice to protect and serve. Then, they all must adhere to that standard. No other way around it if positive change is to occur. The militarization of our police along with the motto, the cop is always honest and true...needs to be history.

3. The man walked up to the car and shot both.

He ran to the train station and killed himself according to early reports.

Why? I can't tell you.

4. I'll listen to the 6 pm news...

I feel very sad for the families involved... Heartbreaking news.

5. Saw something about he possibly killed his girlfriend.

6. Wow...

Sounds like he emotionally hit the wall...such a shame for the unnecessary collateral damage and pain.

7. If true it would explain why he did this.
