Pastor’s Wife Buys Gun Then Immediately Commits Suicide But Why? [This Makes No Sense RIP…]
My condolences to the family. You never know what a person is going through even when they look perfect, talk perfect and act perfect on the surface. That's why I always say, "Never assume!"
Apparently, the deceased was well loved but no one seemed to know that she was having issues. To commit suicide is heartbreaking because the deceased usually leaves a gaping hole in the hearts of those who love them but just didn't know there were issues.
Dallas pastor's wife kills herself with pistol outside of Texas gun shop
Harriet Deison, 65, was found dead in her car outside of McClelland Gun Shop on Saturday. While her death was ruled a suicide, investigators are making sure all the legal procedures were followed in selling her the firearm.
A Dallas pastor’s wife shot herself to death in the parking lot of the gun shop where she had bought a pistol only moments earlier.
Harriet Deison, 65, was found Saturday inside her Lexus sedan after people inside of McClelland Gun Shop in East Dallas heard two shots and called 911 at about 2:15 p.m., police said.
The Dallas County medical examiner’s office ruled the death a suicide, according to The Dallas Morning News, although no suicide note was discovered.
Ron Rutledge, the shop’s owner, declined to comment over the weekend.
The feds are now reviewing the case to ensure the shop followed the correct legal procedures when they sold Deison — a mother of two and grandmother of five — the gun.
Typically, the application process and background check can take about 20 minutes, said Andrew Young, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
If the buyer passes, he or she can get the gun immediately. But Young told The Morning News that gun dealers are discouraged from making the transaction if the person appears “under duress.”
“We recommend during the application process if there’s anything that seems wrong or illogical, don’t do the sale,” he said. “It’s not worth the small amount of profit.”
On the outside, Deison appeared to live a fulfilling life, according to reports, and some friends were left grappling with why she would kill herself.
Roy Exum, a columnist for The Chattanoogan website, wrote that his family knew Deison and her husband through church. He remembered her friendship with his grandmother.
“Harriet was only several years older than me but back when I would watch her during Sunday lunch with my grandmother ... I kinda’ privately figured Harriet was really an angel,” Exum wrote, adding that “Harriet was born into wealth in Dallas but you would have never known it because angels are that way.”
Deison’s obituary described her husband of 44 years, Pete, as the “love of her life." She was also a businesswoman with a green thumb, taking pride in arranging flowers and gardening.
But her obit hinted at her own hardships.
“Harriet’s gift of compassion and empathy caused her to feel deeply for others in pain,” it said. “She struggled with her own pains and was able to use what she learned to comfort others.”

It was more than likely suicide. I don't think they sell guns loaded and if it is then she would have surely been informed. I also smirk at the people who say "but she had the perfect life" and blah blah blah. Anyone can put on an image, and we have no idea what went on behind closed doors or in her head.

A friend of mines cousin who was a pastor killed his self and left no note and no reason why also, sometimes things happen like that you just never know.
My cousin killed his self but he left a note why and the family knew it had something to do with his childhood.
She could have been depressed or troubled.
Maybe she had numbered her days and was ready to check out after 65 years.
Perhaps she received a damning diagnosis from her Dr that week.
It's possible that she notices her mind/memory going & she didn't want to take the long Alz journey home.
Chick had a good run & wanted to go, so she left.
Bye, dear. Rest in peace.

Forensics are saying it was two shots; which is unimaginable but not inconceivable how a person could get off two rounds considering one has to actually SQUEEZE a trigger with a certain amount of pressure. And then there is the whole issue about the aim but apparently she did it.

I hope she finds the peace that alluded her on Earth, somewhere in the afterlife.
Those words are so true CoCoDeluxe. And yet everyday people take their lives because they don't grasp that fact. Even when a person is diagnosed with a terminal illness, suicide is not the way to go.
