Guy I worked with for years, easily the last person you would expect to commit a murder suicide, did exactly that. Found out his wife was cheating, got his Connecticut permit, which takes months and was then required for any handgun purchase. Bought the gun and confronted her. She called the cops, he hung up, killed her and answered the phone when the cops called back asking for his wife.
He said she's right here, hung up and killed himself. One of the local news sites had the recording of the call with the wife and husband, it was creepy as hell, I'd been in their kitchen where it happened. LINK |

Forgot about two. When I was 14 I worked in a paint store. One of the painters was a hard core redneck. When he took his shirt off you could see many wounds from something sharp. He confronted a guy at his home and made the mistake of making the guy too afraid of him. As the painter advanced the guy figured it was over and shot the painter in the upper belly with a shotgun up close. Justified homicide. The other was a few years ago a guy paralyzed from the waist down in my little town was found beaten to death. A few days later I found out he taught english as a second language part time. I figured it was a present or past student. Turns out it was. Him a couple of homies beat this guy to death over a laptop and some other low value things. Sheriff rounded them all up and they are serving time. |

I dated a girl a couple times who was murdered I also knew a guy that killed someone

Knew the shooter and shootee.
Shootee came to shooter's house to kick his ass. Shooter would probably have been ok with the first round. Not so much with the three more as he chased the shootee down the street. 4 rounds of .38 spl out of a COP and shootee made it to several houses knocking on doors for help before expiring. Shooter spent about 18 years in the pen. Got out and choked to death on a peach pit, lying in bed a couple months later. |

Yes I friend I went to school with was found murdered in Tacoma Wa on sportsman rd ( I think ) . Beheaded I believe... I think it unsolved from the early 90's ... Also my roommate helped kill another friend/ acquaintance by hanging him with a rope from a Huge Jesus CROSS on top of a vineyard hill top in Neckarsulm Germany in 86 or 87 ...

Forgot, I had a student that worked for me, and when she graduated she moved up north with her boyfriend. Well one day while high, she shot her boyfriend then was so nervous she shot herself.

Started reading this with 5 known victims in mind. By page 6 I remembered 5 more. Yes, I've known 10 people murdered and about half of their muderers.
One was a girl I got stood up for a date. I learned a week later she had a good reason for not showing up. |

In junior high one of my best friends and his sister were murdered by his mom.
By the time I left high school, 5 of my friends and a cousin had been killed by drunk drivers. In 2001, two of my son's high school friends were murdered by a shooter that shot 15 people. I know 4 of the kids that survived. |
|
Yes, my dad had a good friend that owned a pawn shop I spent a lot of time with when I was younger. He was gunned down in his shop by a guy who killed a state trooper the next day. The murder charge for my dads friend was never prosecuted because the murder of the Trooper carried a death sentence... Another guy I have only met a time or two because he flew planes and so does my friend was murdered two years ago and they have not found a suspect.
Edit: Also had this farm hand that worked until he was 94 on our farm and his two grandsons murdered a guy over a lawnmower. They had a 10 hour standoff with the police. They are on death row. |
|
Yes.
A good friends mother. I have also known several others that were shot to death but these were either legal shoots or a suicide. By the way two guys I knew that were shot to death were both killed by a 20 gauge shotgun that was loaded with......Birdshot. |

Bikers killed by cars count ?
Buddy was stopped at red light when the car coming up behind him just plowed right through him. Doa Coworker/friend. Had the right away through intersection and car blew a stop sign. Hit him, then dragged under car for 1/4 mile. Lived an hour or so after. Both murdered as far as I'm concerned. |

One of the best employees I ever had was killed by his girlfriend's ex. The police chief and coroner called me to identify him and although I had seen some pretty bad scenes before and since his murder the image of him still sticks with me today 25 years later.

If you count killed by a drunk driver as murder, which I do, then yes.
|

One of my best friends growing up was living in a big city after we all graduated from college.
Best we can tell, he was sitting in the living room one day when someone walking down the street thought his duplex looked empty. They guy (later found out to be drug addict) kicked in the back door, and used my buddy's kitchen knife to stab him in the back almost 20 times, 2 or 3 feet from the front door. |
|
Had an old friend and neighbor gunned down behind a bar because he wouldnt let the husband beat the wife.
Now the killer is in the prison system I work in. Thankfully he will never come to my prison because i ask that he didnt. Do not know if i could keep my cool if he was in my prison. |

I knew a guy that worked in the oil field. Part of his job was reading meters in other people's pastures.
One day, a crazy guy had enough. He walked out to the two workers with a shotgun, told them to get on their knees and pray, and blew both their heads off, inches away. He was out of prison on a reduced sentence because he shot his brother sitting next to him in their pickup truck over a relatively minor disagreement. |
|
Nope, I had family members who've been murdered, but I did not know them really well.
I had an uncle who was murdered by two of his employees after they robbed him. Several others in that same vein. |
|
My first girlfriend went crazy a few years after we broke up. She and her boyfriend murdered her mom. It wasnpretty sad, the mom was one of the nicest people I knew. From what I know the murder stemmed from an arguement over the boyfriend not being allowed to live in the mom's house with the daughter (girl was early teens, guy was mid 20s).

killed with a firearm - yes (long story, but the killer was convicted of manslaughter or negligent homicide, can't remember which. regardless he didn't spend nearly enough time in prison. )
murdered - not that i'm aware of |
|
Yep. 20 years ago, a good friend of mine was killed by some thug trying to rob him in a parking lot. Shot him with a .22 to the chest.
RIP JImmy |
|
Yup, one I had gone to school with and the other I knew from circle of friends in old neighborhood.
|
|
Yes. Grew up with this family and knew all of them very well until I graduated high school.
Murder shocks and confuses community Men arrested in shooting It was literally over a couple of bags of weed. |
|
Yes, a friend and co-worker. Almost 2 years to the date in fact.
And to make things worse, his murderer was found not guilty by reason of insanity. There was a thread on here when it happened. |
|
My brother Inlaw was killed at a strip club a few years back, the post I think was in team though.
Another friend of mine was killed about 10 years ago by some meth heads for the sub out of his car |
|
Step father of a friend of mine was killed by a guy who didn't like the step father riding his four wheeler on the trails near shooter's house. Shooter waited for him one afternoon in some bushes with a shotgun. Friend's stepfather was ambushed and shot 9 times.
The step father treated my friend like his own son, and took the 2 of us hunting and fishing all the time. Later in life, I often called the stepfather before buying pistols or rifles because the stepfather was very knowledgeable. Sad to see him go. |

Four, three of them tore the families up, the other was expected and actuall released the family from a hellish situation with a drunk.

My former boyscout leader and his wife were murdered by a neighbor with a grudge in their home with their grade school age daughter watching.
A&E "American Justice" did an episode on it about 10 yrs ago. |
|
Yep. My old boss. He owned a pawnshop. I worked with him everyday when I was in college. A few years later he was working by himself. Supposedly one guy in white painters clothes walked in, shot him in the chest, jumped over the counter and assassinated him by standing over his body and shooting him in the face. He then ripped out the video recorder and stole $700 in cash.
It was 2 years before he was caught. DA would not seek the death sentence. He got life without parole. I feel cheated. I went to his funeral and he had an open casket. The funeral home did a good job putting his face together, but it was fake. It must have blown out his eyes. They shouldn't have had an open casket. He bled out and died right there where I stood everyday for years. Different people own the place now and I've stopped there a few times, but it ain't right. It's more like going to the cemetery for me. Don't ever let the bastards get the drop on you. |
|
yes my cousin was robbed and hit in the head with a hammer, bang, dead.
|
|
3 just off the top of my head. All were beautiful females from age 18 to about 35

As a junior in high school, my friends mother was strangled and thrown in a freezer by her boyfriend. She was "missing" for 4 days. He was rich and vibrant.
