"We've got death. We've got drama. We've got a situation basically no one could ever imagine,"

Not to mention murder and suicide.

As shown in the book, random and unusual violent crimes make the news. This is no exception.

Woman with gun. Unusual. Woman uses gun for violent crime. Even more unusual.
