The Border Patrol said the perp had 56 bullets in him and it was the worst case of suicide they've ever been involved with. :whistle:

Such a shame.   *****rollingeyes*****
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
