Just another case of a gun being used for what it is usually used for in America, murder and suicide.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

Two people died in a suspected murder/suicide after police said that a man shot his ex-girlfriend’s new lover and then himself. 

WFMZ reported that 42-year-old David Lopez-Cintron was let into the home of his ex-girlfriend early Monday morning by one of her two sons, ages 2 and 14. 

Once inside the home, Lopez-Cintron went into the bedroom where he found the couple together. The suspect allegedly tried to shoot the woman, but his gun jammed. 

When Lopez-Cintron aimed the gun at the new boyfriend, Alexis Nogueras-Torres, it fired, killing the 44-year-old Reading man. 

The 14-year-old boy and the ex-girlfriend were present when the shooting took place. The 2-year-old boy was in another room. 

According to the Reading Eagle, Lopez-Cintron fled the scene, but by 10 a.m., police had learned that he could be hiding out a few blocks from the shooting, near the 600 block of South 15th Street. By the time investigators arrived on the scene, however, the suspect was dead of what police said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

You know the NRA can advertise that gun carrying Americans are the Dudley Do-Rights of the world and that they are constantly rescuing cats from trees and babies from burning buildings, but the facts are that when guns are used in this country some version of this is the usual scenario.

Or muggings, armed robberies, or rapes of course. 

This is NOT the wild west, and arming every person walking the streets is NOT the key to reduced crime and fewer gun deaths.

People get angry, people get jealous, and people get suicidal. And often the only thing that increases the chances for them, and others, in surviving those feelings is the absence of a firearm.

    Surprise, surprise another Palin stalker with ties to Bristol AND Willow. I'll bet she used this to get out of the court date/mediation with Levi today.

      Oh my!!! Another "Stalker"??? She dropped everything and ran to a neighbor's house to call 911. I hope someone taped that.
      That's some seriously scary stuff, the guy was on a balcony trying to break in, and gets arrested for "Felony Stalking"??? Why is that? Attempted breaking and entering or attempted burglary, maybe.
      Willow was home, and talked to the guy first. Didn't call bristol, didn't call police, didn't call mama. She just stayed home eating bon bons and watching soap operas.

      Something smells fishy there, but not fishy enough to delay the docket at court.

    So, is jealousy one of the things worth "fighting/dying for?"

    Amazing the damage a good guy can do with a gun, right Wayne? Sorry, I don't buy into any of that, but I'm a firm believer of if I see something, I report it.

    In this case, what did the ex boyfriend prove? What did he accomplish that was good? He killed his ex's boyfriend in front of her and one child, then fled the scene and killed himself where no one could see what a coward he truly is.
