Tyler's Courthouse Square, February 24, 2005
David Hernandez Arroyo, Sr. attacked his ex-wife with an AK-47 in downtown Tyler Thursday afternoon, in a "postal" moment. What leads someone to fall off the edge of sanity like that? The stresses of his life added up, including a divorce, a bitter child custody case, an assault case in which his ex and adult son testified against him, and his mother died recently. How sad! LORD, I pray for the souls of David and Maribel and Mark, a bystander who got involved and got killed for it. Mark was a self-defense and handgun expert, but was outgunned by a well-prepared Arroyo.
And what was he doing with an AK-47 and body armor, anyway? Isn't it time for an effective assault weapons ban?
