Four shot dead in Coronado,CA
- Thread starter jarhead
- Start date
Very terrible news...I met him in my second year of college and had nearly every class with him right up to graduation day. He finally talked some sense into me and got me to fix my eyes and join up. I'm getting close to selecting now out of primary and he had been telling me all about how jet advanced was...this is a huge tragedy. Sorry to all others that knew him, we all knew the same great guy. I'm especially sorrowful for his family, I hope they can find peace somehow through this horrific event. RIP David and Karen, and other Navy brother...I didn't know Bob, but I wish his family the very best.
Bunk,
Three people identified, but fourth has not been released (31 year old Chula Vista man).

A bunch of us going I think are wearing ribbons. Medals to me are more for joyous formal ceremonies.
If you guys aren't sure about uniforms and ribbons vs medals, then over the next couple days you might want to check with the squadron. For something like this, the front office will usually come out with uniform guidance for the members of the command- and you can simply follow that in good conscience.
Knew Bob from API, we were in the same study group together. Very smart guy and had tons of potential. Like some of the guys said, the job we sign up for has its risks, but it kills you to hear someone get killed like these 4 peopel did. RIP.
update from SDPD. sad all the way around.

Police in San Diego have ruled bob's death a suicide, the other three homicides. Unbelievable.
News is saying the pilot John Robert Reeves was a suicide while the other three were murdered. I assume that means he murdered the other three. What a waste and why?

I have been to suicides as well as murder/suicides where a motive has never become apparent. Most of the time, there are incidents and circumstances where the actions of the suspect/victim are explainable by a set of circumstances that led them to believe that suicide was the only way out. In other cases I have seen, there was literally nothing that was discovered that would lead any reasonable person to think that an event such as this would ever take place.
To the families of all involved, nothing is going to make this " better " , however in my experience having a reason to why what happened is preferable than to never know what the reasons were.
As a general statment and for wardrobe planning purposes:
Per DoDI 1300.15 (google it, and go to chapter 4.7 if you want the specifics), there are no military funeral honors when someone has committed a capital crime. I would expect that only one of these funerals will be a military ceremony where the uniform would be appropriate.
