So I get to school today, and a lot of people are leaving to go to somebody's house and a bunch of people have really disturbed looks on their faces. Later, I hear what happened.

Yesterday, a girl at my school got out early for work release, went home, and finds her mother in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds all over her chest and head, and also finds her father lifeless in the basement. Apparently, the couple was going through a divorce at the time, and it looks like they got into an arguement and the father shot and killed his wife, and then committer suicide.

Can you even imagine coming home to this? And the girl was an only child. It's things like this that just make you sick at your stomach with the thought that you could have come home to the same thing.


Oops, I meant to post this in The Lounge.

that is so sad. i honestly think people who have arguments that is harsh enough to result into such violent scenes should just get therapy. that must've been really hard for the girl. man if i saw a scene like that, i'd be scarred :[

I'd faint if I came home to that

That's absolutely astoundingly aweful I hope the girls doing alright

RIP

im sorry, i hope she's gonna be okay

That sucks...a lot....

^Such comforting and genius words.


That is a terrible thing, I really feel terrible for the girl. Best of luck to her.

I don't know what I would do if I came home to that...I can't even imagine...

Omg, that is so horrible.
To come home to that, oh god.
I feel so bad for that kid.
That is just horrible. And who's gonna take care of her now?
If she goes to your school, I mean really look out for her.
That's so horrible :(

and about putting this in the lounge, i think it's fine here in relationships.

oh my god....that sounds so horrible...i can't imagine anything like that...i would be so traumatized...

That's really sad.. I wouldn't know what to do if that happened.. I hope the girl's all right.

I feel really sorry for the girl. That's just...too sad.

Oh...my...god. My hand subconsciously went to cover my mouth in total shock.

I would seriously have no idea what I would do...I feel so sorry for her.

that's so horrible. i have no idea what i would do if that happened to me...especially after word gets out. it must be so hard for her to deal with it while having people all over her asking what happened, how she is, etc. it's kind of like "how the f*ck do you think she is?! she lost both of her parents and found their bloody corpses!"

something similar kind of happened to someone i knew. when my parents owned a restaurant, in the same area, there was a beauty salon. the lady used to order food from our restaurant until a misunderstanding between her and my mom. i'm not sure about what really happened but just like the girl, the lady's son who went to my junior high school found his mom, his stepdad, and a gun all on the floor. however, this happened about 6 years ago.

it's just so tragic that people resort to such drastic measures over things that can be solved by just talking things through...

Wow. I cannot even imagine what that could feel like. I don't think I could handle something like that.

Well, the kid at your school is going to need all the support that they can get, they're probably not going to want to talk about it for a while though, so you're better off with a card and a small personal note in it, since they're probably going to be getting a lot of cards, try to personalize it a bit.

i swear my mouth dropped exactly like that when i read that...oh my gosh....that is so sad....absolutely horid! its things like these that really make me appreciate my parents...

omfg...
only child, no parents ... gosh.

omg..did her dad even THINK about his daughter if he were to do this? thats so sad..whats going to happen to her? hopefully, shell be able to stay with some other fmaily instead of being adopted or put up for foster homes until shes 18.

If I were in that situation, I would be scarred for life. The parents don't realize the huge effect of their actions... I feel sorry for the mother who fell victim to the father, since he did shoot her, but more sorry for the girl. I don't know what I would've done. I hope she's alright. :[

Non-violence, people!

Wow if that happened to me, i'd probably just run out of the house, shaking and unable to say anything, and then keep running until i get somewhere, and then..just..yeah. that's just completely terrible. how old is that girl? wow..thats..just so sad.. God bless her =\

that's so.. irresponsible.
how can they do this to each other and themselves and not even thinking about how their daughter would feel...
i can't imagine anything like that happening..
it's too.. drastic tv drama plot line.
gb the daughter.

That's really sad. I wouldn't know what to do. I would be depress for the rest of my life. =(

That is so sad... I would be very scared if I came home to that. I fee lsorry for the girl. This shows that everyone should appreciate what they have, and not wish for something else, because you never know what'll happen.

omg .. that's sad .

i'm almost kinda tearing right now .. i'd hate to come home to that ..

How old was she? I give her my best. This is awful...

Exactly..

I hope she's all right. God bless her.

Wow that must be traumatizing.... Extremely traumatizing poor thing probably had no clue did she?

**speechless** ; i could never imagine that happening.. thats just too much to think about.... i hope the girl in your school is okay =(
