Unfortunately, to me it always seems like the stories on the news are about a man who freaks out on his wife, ex-wife, girlfriend, ex-girlfriend and then proceeds to shoot her, their children and usually himself.

My admittedly unscientific observation seems to be that this type of behavior happens far more often then the high profile cases that the poster listed in the post you felt would be over looked.

If I weren't running late for a dinner engagement, I would research this further. Perhaps someone knows more facts about this topic than I do. But living in a big city like Chicago, it seems like the news constantly has a story about a father killing his partner and their children, it almost feels commonplace.
