A buddy had two incidents involving swords like the one above. One was a 16 year old kid that had a girlfriend dump him. That one bothered my buddy as it was a more foolish than normal reason to end one's life.
My buddy spent 15 years on Minneapolis PD before leaving to go to a smaller and "safer" department per his wife's insistence. He had just been involved in a SWAT raid were the suspects had time to shoot back. She did not like seeing bullet holes appear in the wall just above her husband's body on the local news station.
The first shooting was the kid and he left that department due to local pressure. The second was on the other side of the state and involved a guy who's wife left him. My buddy did not care much for swords afterward.
