One more thing relating to kids. Though Zinkhan is a monster for killing his wife and two other people, I thank him (and it is a dark thanks indeed) for not adding his kids to the list of the dead.

After getting into an argument with his wife, Marie Bruce, Zinkhan, a professor of marketing and mass consumption at the University of Georgia...

...went to his car, where the couple's children apparently were waiting, and returned with two handguns.

The shootings "only took a few minutes," Holeman said. Police found eight shell casings.

After the shooting, Zinkhan left the scene with his children — ages 8 and 10 — still in the vehicle, police said. He drove to a neighbor's home in nearby Bogart, Georgia, where he lived and left the children there.

There is a ray of light in this night of a man.
