Texas man shoots self inside hospital room shortly after wife gives birth

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/12/man-shoots-self-inside-hospital-room-shortly-after-wife-gives-birth/

A Texas man fatally shot himself inside a Houston hospital room over the weekend not long after his wife had given birth.

KHOU reported that the wife gave birth at the Willowbrook Methodist Hospital on Sunday. And then hours later, the man committed suicide while in that same room with his wife.

Witnesses reported hearing arguing before the gunshot, but no one else was inside the room.

The man was later pronounced dead after being transported by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. His name had not been released.

This is probably not a failure of our broken health care system.

Damned guns.
