has anybody heard about that guy in cumbria that went on a killing rampage then shot himself

Divorced father-of-two Derrick Bird, 52, shot several colleagues in Whitehaven in Cumbria, then drove his cab through the countryside of the Lake District blasting other victims apparently at random.

Following a frantic manhunt, police found his body 20 miles away in woods near the hamlet of Boot three-and-a-half hours later.

[ConnoR]

But the chance is there.

Even if someone does, it's hardly going to be interesting...

Person 1: I knew someone who died in this incident.
Everyone else: OK.

I just can't understand why people think of doing this?
There's just no point in ruining others their life if yours is miserable.
Then the coward committed suicide cause he probably wouldn't/couldn't bear the consequences.

It's not something you can comprehend unless you're in his situation. I can't even begin to imagine the agony a person has to go through to do something like that, and while it is terrible I still feel sorry for the guy.

I would feel sorry for the guy if he ended his own life, without bringing innocents down with him who didn't want to end their life. So no, I couldn't give a flying fuck about him now because just as KS said, he is a murderer.
