i am a first responder for a town near this incident, so when the call came through i knew it was either a double murder or a suicide/murder. i didnt know how to feel besides concern or frustration in fear it was a murder and that there was a murderer running around. but i too fear that maybe it was a double murder to made look to be a suicide/murder. ugh! i feel so bad for their families tho.
