A soldier barricaded herself inside an office at Fort Lee, causing a lockdown, and then killed herself. This sad story raises at least a few questions:
Is it soldier-on-soldier murder when the soldier you kill is yourself?
Does it make a difference that the gun she shot herself with wasn't a service weapon, but was available to her through other sources?
And, the obvious one: What brought her to such a state of despair?
Once again, it's being reported as a individual problem, someone who was "upset and outraged," though it's a good bet we'll never know what she was upset about and so, never had to come to terms with what is a systemic problem.
