A close friend came over one night. His wife (who was my wife's BFF) was divorcing him. We had a few beers in my garage and he was asking my advice on what to do. I told him to make sure he takes care of his 2 young children foremost, stay in their life, but you need to move on from Susie. "Lot of fish in the ocean" type advice.

He went home and the next morning unloaded a 357 into her while she slept in bed. Reloaded the revolver and shot himself in the head.

His young boy frantically called me after he'd unscrewed the master bedroom doorknob that morning. Not good.

I wish I could've talked him out of this.
