Domestic Violence Death Creates Another Stir in Hyde Park, NY

According to reports, a town man shot and killed himself with a shotgun at approximately 9 p.m. Saturday night. Reports indicate that the man and his wife struggled with a pistol-gripped shotgun in the moments before police arrived, and that when she fled, he turned the gun on himself. Police drew their weapons on the subject, after being let in by a young child. Two young children and the man's wife were present at the time of the reported suicide. Two older children were not at home.

This incident is yet another in a string of unusual violent deaths in the region. And yet again, we are suddenly met with odd circumstances surrounding the reporting and investigation of the incident.

After posting a headline article, the Poughkeepsie Journal has pulled their story, without explanation. One headline read, "Police: Man shoots self following domestic incident" and the other, "POLICE: MAN SHOOTS SELF IN THE HEAD, CHILDREN PRESENT." Both articles have been pulled. See for yourself here...
