Re: Murder-Suicide at Houston Mall
HOUSTON - A man fatally shot his girlfriend and then killed himself as she was opening a lingerie store in a shopping mall Tuesday, police said.
The man apparently confronted the woman as she was raising the security gate at the Body Luxuries store, said Houston Police Lt. Albert Mihalco.
The woman was the only employee present at the store in the Greenspoint Mall. After they struggled, the man moved the woman into a back room of the store and shot her in the head, Mihalco said. She was found wearing only a bra and panties.
'There was a struggle in the back room,' Mihalco said. 'I'm not sure if he tried to rape her or what was going on.'
Seconds after the woman was shot, the man walked behind the counter and shot himself in the head, Mihalco said.
Before the shooting, the man had pulled the security gate back down, barricading the two of them inside the store, said Jocklynn Keville of the Greenspoint Management District.
Police did not immediately identify the two.
The shooting was reported at 10 a.m., when most stores were still closed. Police armed with helmets and shields surrounded the store before discovering the bodies.
Employees said they were just starting to open their stores when a security guard ran down the corridors, pounding on gates and doors and telling everyone to evacuate.
'I just left my coat and got out,' said store clerk Deborah White.
The Greenspoint Mall is located a few miles from George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

That is really scarey when you get involved with a psychopath and then they kill you

Yep. I recently had a former friend of mine pretty much lose it and start acting very strange and out of character towards his most recent ex. By way of a long story, I actually had to go court about it and it sucked to have to answer questions about his actions but it was the right thing to do.
Oh man that is really messed up. I guess he was stalking her and threatening her huh?
I am sure it had to suck to be on the stand and get asked questions about your friend and you had to answer truthfully.

Oh god yeah. And this wasn't just some guy I knew. I've known him for roughly 1 years. I met my wife through a woman he once dated and he stood in our wedding! And on top of all of that, the girl he lost it over was an ex-girlfriend of my little brothers from years ago. It's all very strange but he never knew her when my little brother dated her years ago. He was all happy go lucky when he met this new chick and as he was telling me more about her I figured out who it was. I was never a really big fan of hers but I put up with it for the 3 years they were together. Then to top it all off, I end up having to go to court to testify FOR HER because it was the right thing to do.
Well the words of my dad ring in my head...."you have to always, do the right thing"
Do you still see him now?

That's because he doesn't take blame for what he has done. In his mind, you fucked him over, not his own doings. See, he already has issues obviously because of what he was doing to that girl so it's not all that difficult to believe that he doesn't see his fault in any of this. I was among other thins, stalked by my ex and they are have a strange way of manipulating and completely justifing their psychosis in their own minds and also with others.
