After a fight with his wife, Joshua Crawford, 30, of Butler County, Pa., said he decided to leave and go to his mother’s house. His wife escalated things, calling him names — “mama’s boy” and such. Crawford then decided to kill himself: he grabbed the hunting rifle he had put out for a morning hunt, put the barrel under his chin, and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. His wife escalated things more, yelling at him that he should indeed kill himself. He reseated the gun’s magazine, and then shot her instead. He is being held on murder charges. (RC/KDKA Pittsburgh) ...We’ll find out in 7-to-20 years whether he thinks it was worth it.Original Publication Date: 01 January 2017
