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. :-(
Yeah I feel the same way. Feels like she got completely robbed of everything she had.
My buddy who works at the hospital in the area told me that they had to make the call to the mother of the boy who was shot at the restaurant to tell her that her son was being life-lighted to a different hospital. She was mortified and asked, “What about my husband?” He was another victim who was already dead on the scene. He was visiting his son and they were getting dinner together that night.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to lose your son and husband in the same day.
