TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Oklahoma: A recently divorced airman who served with distinction in Iraq chased his ex-wife out of military housing with a pistol before killing his two young children and himself.
Tinker Air Force Base officials on Wednesday identified Tech. Sgt. Dustin Thorson, a military computer expert, as the killer in the shootings Monday.
His former wife had filed an order of protection against him last year, saying he had threatened to kill 4-year-old Dylan and 9-year-old Jourdain if she filed for divorce.
Thorson had been under the care of a mental health professional, Brig. Gen. Lori Robinson said. She would not say whether his mental problems were related to stress from his crumbling marriage or his experiences in Iraq.
Armed with a 9 mm Ruger semiautomatic pistol and a stun gun, Thorson, 35, chased his ex-wife, Michelle Thorson, out of the house before shooting his children and committing suicide, Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel said.

What a crude headline. You really are Raw
ReplyDeleteExcuse me if it was not delicate enough to suit you. I think I'd be more outraged over the story itself than the way a headline was phrased. You didn't think to comment on the fact these innocent kids are no longer here, the mother has to bury her kids or the fact this airman was a very troubled person and instead of getting help he tried to get is dead as well. But you managed to take the time to voice your opinion of the headline. Hmm....that's very telling. Please comment more often so that I can get really pissed off at how pathetic some people really are.
