This is entirely tragic. We did not know what was going on but when we saw all the police with rifles and guns drawn it was obviously something quite serious. We wondered why whatever they were doing was taking so long but now it makes sense since the guy had a number of guns. Our local men in blue certainly come equipped when they need to. Things like this are always very sad but especially at this time of year.

This was not just some guy. This was a father, a grandfather, a uncle, and a wonderful friend. He was the kindest man you could ever know. He did not own fire arms just the one that was used. He owned air rifels and pellet guns. To me it is horrible that a wife would leave a husband in such a way.... And no suicide notes left either kinda makes you wonder if this even was a suicide... I guess only the two people in that garage will know. This is a horrible situation that could of and should of been prevented.
