Georgia mayor died from self-inflicted shot, autopsy shows
ATLANTA | BY DAVID BEASLEY
An autopsy indicates that the mayor of a small city in northern Georgia killed himself earlier this week after a dispute with his wife, investigators said on Thursday.
Clarkesville Mayor Terry Greene died on Sunday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
The agency was investigating his shooting at his home, about 85 miles northeast of Atlanta. Greene later died in an Atlanta hospital.
A GBI Medical Examiner issued a preliminary finding that Mayor Greene died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the agency said on Thursday, noting that the shooting followed a domestic disturbance with his wife.
A former city councilman, Greene, 53, was elected mayor in 2005. He was a physician and father of four children, according to Clarkesville's website.

Guess they have to get to the doughnut shop.
So he has a fight with his wife and then kills himself? I'm not buying it.
I'd be interested in hearing if he was depressed, or had other issues in his life which he was in fear of.
I still think the wife was involved, but the cops are apparently fine with letting her off the hook.

However, I do believe suicide is gun violence and when you point out to rabid gunners the statistics on suicide they say those shouldn't be included in gun violence. I disagree we need to talk about how to make people safer from turning their guns on themselves.
