1. Ugh; another spousal homicide that "nobody saw coming"

I'm just re-reading Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear. Spousal killings are the single most predictable category of homicide, if anyone knew a) what signs to watch for, and more importantly, b) would actually take the pre-incident indicators seriously when they noticed them.

2. Kinda puts a little hole (no pun intended) in the argument

that only police should have guns because they've been psychologically tested, yada yada.
Police are people too and are subject to the same stresses as everyone else. Just because they carry a badge doesn't make them invulnerable to those stresses.
