Proof that background checks don’t work another failure by the police if he had a gun license

Coward! To look at your daughter and pull the trigger, just can't fathom. Thoughts with the family, to lose a daughter and granddaughter ❤️

Wtf man.

This is a terrible tragedy. May they RIP. But who knew that pupils in independent schools can be taught how to shoot? Since 1890 it seems!

the mind boggles to why a husband would kill both his wife and child.His smile in this photo looks faked like he has a evil plan brewing.

When will the violence against women by men end? Police officers? Husbands? Fathers? Is any woman safe anymore? It’s so tragic and scary to think about. Heart-breaking news. Enough is enough.

Why use the happy family photo in this context? It’s completely sick and twisted

RIP
