Every behavior is a choice. We choose to do things and not to do things constantly.
Every choice has a consequence, which may include a probability of occurring.

Some consequences are well known.

Some are fairly subtle or indirect (Karma might be an example. Pooping where you sleep is another, for some people).

We are talking about a well known consequence.

Police: Suspect kills himself after Mississippi and Jacksonville shootings outside trucking companies

jacksonville.com


excerpt:

An Orange Park man fired over a year ago from a trucking company has been identified as the suspect in the shooting death of a freight company manager in Jacksonville and the critical wounding of a second worker in Mississippi.Police said Alfred Tankersley, 50, then killed himself in Richland, Miss., after an employee of Southeastern Freight Co. was shot there Tuesday night. Tankersley also was suspected in the death of Marty Coffey, also 50, at Old Dominion Freight Line in Jacksonville Monday morning.

In Mississippi, the wounded man worked for Southeastern Freight, the company Tankersley was fired from, according to Richland police. Coffey also previously worked for Southeastern.

“We believe it is due to his being fired from Southeastern Freight,” said police spokeswoman Allison Clark said of Tankersley.

She said Coffey and the man wounded Tuesday, whose name has not been released, were instrumental in the termination. She also said it is not clear if the firing occurred in Mississippi or at another facility the company owned.

Investigators said Tankersley fired about nine shots Tuesday into a vehicle at the Mississippi yard. In Jacksonville, police said multiple shots were fired after Coffey got out of his car Monday about 6:30 a.m.

On an Old Dominion Facebook post Monday, the company said it is cooperating with the investigation and was saddened by such a horrific tragedy. Southeastern did not respond to attempts for comment Tuesday.

In the Mississippi shooting, police said Tankersley waited for the victim to stop and then shot him. The victim drove to the police station for help and was taken to a hospital.

Clark said the man was in stable condition Wednesday.

Richland police said detectives from Jacksonville are traveling to Mississippi Thursday.

The shooting death of Coffey followed by the eventual suicide of Tankersley was the fifth murder-suicide in Northeast Florida since the beginning of May. Two of them ended in different counties.

There also was an attempted murder-suicide June 16 in Jacksonville where a woman was shot by an ex-fiance multiple times outside her work building. The shooter, an ex-policeman, killed himself, but the woman survived.

Family and friends have been posting on social media to share heartfelt memories of Coffey since his death.

A photo gallery was created in memory of the Callahan man on Facebook and there were hundreds of photos of him by Wednesday afternoon. Many of the pictures showed Coffey enjoying the outdoors, at sporting events or at family occasions.

“In every picture you see a man who loved life, God, his wife and family. Who never failed to show that love. There was always a perpetual grin on his face. The world is a sadder place without him in it,” said one post.

A viewing for Coffey is scheduled 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Corey Kerlin Funeral Home, 1426 Rowe Ave., Jacksonville. There will be a second viewing the next day 10 to 11 a.m. at Celebration Church, 9555 RG Skinner Pkwy.
