The man reportedly started talking about killing himself over his impending divorce. He produced a handgun. A 32-year-old friend of the man tried to stop him. The man fatally shot himself in the head. The bullet then entered the head of the friend who was trying to stop him. The friend is now in intensive care.

Clue: If you're going to off yourself, do it in a secluded location where the coyotes can pick your bones clean, instead of acting out a made-for-TV drama in front of your friends or family.

I agree. It is extremely rude of someone to create such a mess for others indoors. Display a little courtesy and shoot yourself, slit your wrists, etc. outdoors. Thank you.

Go to Home Depot and buy plastic sheeting, that's how I prepare bodies for easy cle... oh wait, wrong forum.

All joking aside, if you know someone that is acting strange: QPR (Question Persuade Refer)

If I was so inclined to look, many such posters would have in other threads posted about prayers, and religious believes, Christianity, forgiveness, and many other like-minded tenants. How interesting that those ideas go by the way side in reference to things by their own postings they seem not to understand.

Suicide is a final solution to often a temporary problem, and having been involved with the before, during and after of more than a few I can say, it is often not preventable (you won’t always know they are about to do something like this). Often, the person is mentally incapable of understanding the feelings of selfishness, or hate to another… I’m not a doc, don’t have a medical degree.. but I have 26 years of experience observing the before, during and aftermath of 5 successful suicides, 3 failures who were committed, just messed it up, more suicidal ideations then I can count any more.

In talking with two that tried, failed, and lived (somewhat) though the illness.. at the time selfishness was not a understood thought at the time, though afterwards embarrassment and anger at them self’s for having put family and friends though the event was real…. Very real..
One was later successful in his quest.. When an IED blew him in to several parts... one struggles every day but lives morning to waking morning and remembers, the guy that died next to him that day, it’s not his fault the sniper shot the guy next to the him, and not my RTO.. Which is whom the sniper was aiming for. ..
