A Texas man fatally shot himself inside a Houston hospital room over
the weekend not long after his wife had given birth.

KHOU reported that the wife gave birth at the Willowbrook Methodist
Hospital on Sunday. And then hours later, the man committed suicide
while in that same room with his wife.

Witnesses reported hearing arguing before the gunshot, but no one else
was inside the room.


The man was later pronounced dead after being transported by
helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. His name had not been
released.

According to the hospital?s Patient Guide, the campus is a ?gun-free
zone? and ?weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden.?



Wouldn't have happened if nurses, doctors and hospital adminstrators
were armed.

Gun free zone. Helped, did't it?

He clearly wasn't following the rules, was he? He's not a law abiding
citizen like all other legal gun owners. And, you know, I'll bet he
was a completely legal gun owner until he took his own life. It's a
good thing we embrace guns as part of our American culture, cuz
otherwise he'd have had to use another means to off himself in front
of his wife.

The country is sick with easy answers, violence and gun culture.
