Black Marine Shoots Dead His White Girlfriend




Hero mom: Jessica Arrendale, 33, reportedly sheltered six-month-old Cobie in the toilet bowl when her boyfriend Antoine Davis, 30, shot her in the head

Is depression an excuse for murder and violence? Do all depressed people shoot others dead? What is the connection between being depressed and murder?

[From article]
A mother saved her six-month-old baby with her 'last breath,' sheltering the infant in the toilet after her boyfriend shot her in the head and turned the gun on himself.
Jessica Arrendale, 33, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head along with Antoine Davis, 30, who police believe shot himself and Arrendale in a murder-suicide in an Atlanta suburb.
Police had surrounded Arrendale's townhouse. When they finally entered the home, they found the baby safe inside and rushed her to the hospital to treat her for hypothermia.

Marine: Davis served as a marine in Iraq according to his ex-wife Tamaira Chesley, who also believed he battled with depression

Arrendale's mother, Teresa Ionniello, told WSB Radio that Arrendale and Davis were together the night that Davis became 'belligerently drunk and abusive,' an episode that sadly had happened many times before in their relationship.
Davis chased Arrendale up to the third floor of her home, where Arrendale picked up a baseball bat to defend herself, according to Ionniello, though Davis overpowered her and struck her with the bat.
Arrendale then barricaded herself in the bathroom with their six-month-old, Cobie. Davis went to get his firearm, an assault rifle, from the closet, and it was around this time that police arrived at the home.
