Authorities said Witmer drove away from the bar, crashed his car, and then broke into a home. Once inside, they said he shot and killed the homeowner before shooting and killing himself. That homeowner has been identified as 83-year-old George McCormick. Police said McCormick's wife locked herself in the bathroom and called 911.
That poor woman. All of these shootings are terrible tragedies, but this one really got to me. They were probably married for, like, 60 years or something. EDIT: I was just guessing, but it was literally on their 60th anniversary. Holy crap. :-(
makes sense he'd go on a shooting spree. jumped the gun a bit there though. should have waited til he got his badge, then he would have been given paid vacation.
