A woman in New York sent her husband out to visit an ailing person. When he returned he discovered she'd shot her father and ten year old daughter.

This is so very tragic and, although premeditated, to me it is clear this woman was not receiving the medical care she needed for what was obvious mental illness! I would be interested in what the circumstances were here. Did she not have insurance? If she did did her insurance company so severely limit therapy and medication treatment to exacerbate her condition? Was her family ignorant or unwilling to have her admitted to a mental health unit against her will? How much did shame have to do with this outcome? There is more to this awful matter. Sadly I do not believe most reporters simply do not understand enough about mental illness to be able to report responsibly.
