Visiting family in CA summer of 1984, went to Imperial beach and we stopped at McDonalds. We were getting in the car when the gunman started shooting. Dad started to go back in, mom went bat shit hysterical, so he drove a block away and found a pay phone to call police.
Inlaws, nephew shot a cop, his mom and himself. Completely fucked up disfunctionals, but didn’t see it going that direction. We had to deal with the house afterwards, his room was plastered with infowars crap. Side note: his dad literally drank himself to death a couple years earlier, a $7M+ lottery ticket sold at his corner liquor store a couple weeks prior and was never claimed. When we had to deal with the house after the murder/suicide his home office was still intact and there were about a thousand old lottery tickets in drawers.
Crazy HS Gf’s dad is in prison for killing her mom. I didn’t like them much because our interests weren’t aligned. Thing is, I’m certain he didn’t do it, he was set up (by crazy and accomplice) He was smart and methodical, OCD immaculate. So he went all Dexter at the scene, then decided to drop the murder weapons and some bloody paraphernalia on top of the dumpster at his office.
