The life of police officer is incredibly stressful. They have one of the highest incidences of suicide of any profession. Pity he took his family with him.

However, consider that even in the most draconian gun control situation, he would still have had that gun.

I agree with you.

When I was a kid, many, many years ago the cop who lived across the street from us killed himself and his wife. He used a shotgun.

I'm sure it was in the local paper but doubt that it was considered "headline news" across the country. That was long before the Internet and when even the media tried not to sensationalize   this kind of tragedy.

Times have changed.
