A man in Washington state has killed both himself and his wife after raising
fears about struggling to pay medical expenses for her ongoing health
conditions.
The couple were identified by the Whatcom County Medical Examiner as Brian S
Jones, 77, and Patricia Whitney-Jones, 76.
Mr Jones, who lived near the city of Ferndale, called emergency services on
Wednesday morning and said he was going to shoot himself, according to the
Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office.
He said he had prepared a note for the sheriff which contained information
and instructions. In spite of the operator’s efforts to keep him on the
line, Mr Jones is then said to have told the operator, “we will be in the
front bedroom”, before disconnecting the call.
Police arrived around 15 minutes later and set up a perimeter around the
house and attempted to intervene for about an hour with a crisis negotiator
and loud hailer.
But it was too late, as officials then used a robot-mounted camera to look
inside the home and found the bodies of the married couple.
Authorities said they believe Mr Jones shot his wife and then himself. They
were found lying together.
A statement from Whatcom Sheriff Bill Elfo said state officials are
investigating the incident which is deemed to be a murder-suicide.
According to the sheriff, Mr Jones told the operator: “I am going to shoot
myself”.
Several notes were left in the home “citing severe ongoing medical problems
with the wife and expressing concerns that the couple did not have
sufficient resources to pay for medical care”, according to the sheriff’s
statement.
“It is very tragic that one of our senior citizens would find himself in
such desperate circumstances where he felt murder and suicide were the only
option. Help is always available with a call to 911,” Mr Elfo said in the
post.
Numerous firearms were seized and two dogs found in the house were taken to
an animal shelter.
Sherrie Schulteis, a neighbour of the couple, said she often spoke to Mr
Jones and watched out for each other’s homes but was totally unaware about
the extent to which he was struggling mentally and financially.
“[Mr Jones and I] were always waving and talking about our yards or our
flowers,” she told The Lynden Tribune. “It’s a little tiny community
where we all know each other, but we don’t really know each other.” |

医生们如果把病人以治好病为原则
不是把病人当生钱机器 压榨了一轮又一轮
保险公司如果下调一点利润
律师们如果少charge一点费用
制药厂如果慷慨的少点利润
这老夫妻何至于死？
所以不是钱
而是贪财的人在吃人

U mean some people wanted to "silent" him forever.
That's a possibility for such dirty politics. |
