LEESBURG - A few hours before authorities say Douglas Skipworth opened fire on his estranged wife in a drugstore Saturday, he convinced police that he posed no immediate danger... "Come on, guys," Skipworth told officers dispatched to his home. "I know you're just doing your job, but I'm fine"... He admitted he had been crying and drinking but seemed upbeat and coherent, according to the police report... But at 3 p.m., about 3 1/2 hours later, Skipworth, a former police officer, shot his wife in the chest, knee and ankle inside the store and then calmly drove away in his pickup... [LINK]

I am SO sorry for how awful this has to be for everyone in your mom's life, and of course you.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything me and my gang can do for any of you please let us know.
And let me know how she is doing. I can't imagine, and I am so thankful that she is living through this.
My friend who's daughter was murdered said to me - and I always remember - is that you have to come up swinging, or you'll go crazy.
That may or may not apply, but I wanted to share it. Most folks working to help victims of violence have in someway been harmed in the past.
Your mom when she heals is a testament.
She has been through what so many of us fear.
Hugz... and the prayers will continue until you tell me to stop.
