I’m sitting here listening to the evening news, and there is a report of a local man who shot his infant daughter, and then killed himself.  What kind of circumstances and mental processes would result in a father killing his own child?  There was the Omaha mall killer who wanted to die - who wrote that he didn’t want to be a burden for everyone anymore, but for some reason had to take eight innocent strangers with him.  If someone’s life is so awful that they simply must kill themselves, why do so many feel determined to take others with them?  I don’t understand it.
