Reply to comment by pobody in Police: Husband shoots and kills wife in Monroeville, dies by apparent suicide after SWAT standoff by BecuzMDsaid

I think this is the sort of person who would have figured out another way to do it though. I mean it was a standoff, it wasn't exactly impulsive

Standoffs can happen after something impulsive? How are the two related?

And this very case could be an example of that. He shot her while she was in her moving car, which seems more spontaneous than planned. Once he realizes how fucked he is, he panics and it becomes a standoff.

clearly you didn't read the article, because dude shot his wife while she was driving away. how would you think he'd do that with a knife?

One of the longest, deadliest standoffs in my hometown happened after a "model citizen" father flipped his shit when he found out CPS was investigating his son for abuse towards the kids in their foster care.

One phone call giving him the heads up the police were coming and he decided to shoot the first officer that showed up and her partner.

A standoff seems like the result of an impulsive decision to me. A standoff has no real viable endgame so it's a result of a lack of planning. At least that's how my logic sees it

Cool. Can you tell me how he differs from the 2-3 other guys EVERY DAY who shoot their intimate partner to death?

I suppose they could all find a different way, but guns are what they choose.

Weird how that works.

Almost like it’s way easier to kill someone with a gun.

Especially when they are driving away like this poor woman was.

What part of the article made you think this wasn’t something impulsive? And which part talks about the accused as a person that makes you make the determination that this guy would’ve “found a way” to stop his fleeing wife from driving away without the use of a gun?
