Wow... In case the headline wasn't clear, the case is a murder-suicide. She killed herself, her son, and her dog.

I really can't believe the way the article goes out of the way to talk about how she played football in high school 20 years ago, even though she got teased about it. How is that relevant? Is it just to show that she was a victim of some kind?

This didn't strike me as overly sympathetic, but I seriously doubt the tone would be the same if a father killed his son.
