Lawyer Christopher Andrews shot dead



the late Christopher Andrews with is wife Kathleen, 

by Fairfield police. What happened? Apparently there was a domestic dispute where he attacked his wife and children, and then armed with a knife he approached a cop and was warned to stop but he kept on coming and then the cop shot him. See story here....http://nypost.com/2016/02/16/cops-shoot-man-who-attacked-wife-and-kids-police/

What caught my eye is that Mr. Andrews went to the same law school as my brother, St. John's University, Queens, NY.

So what went wrong? What made this person become a monster, out of control , against his family and then lunging at the cops? What made him snap? Was he a time bomb waiting to explode? How is this possible? Was this avoidable? How can we stop other time bombs? There are more questions than answers but one thing is for sure, when the dust settles, the truth will come out. Someone from the immediate family will talk. Right at this moment, there is too much physical pain and mental trauma. Every thing has a time and a place.

This story is a lesson to all human beings. It crosses all religions and races.  Anger,hatred, jealousy, emotions, they affect each and every one of us. We all need to take heed.

It also teaches us how fragile life is and we must treasure it every moment.
