In Heathrow, Florida a man shot his wife and two kids. Then killed himself.

Four people dead and we'll never know why.

And unfortunately, this type of news story has hit us many times.

There's not much information yet about the family, but when it does surface the odds are that the information will contain the words "normal family," or that he didn't seem like the type of guy who would do such a thing.

Why do you think people do this? (Yes, "people" not "men." One third of familial murder-suicides are committed by women.) The conversation continues with you.

 

Just take it one gigantic, earth-shattering crisis at a time.
