On Sunday morning our local newscaster spoke of a double shooting in the park that is only blocks from our home.
Our home.
Our children play basketball in this park.
We swim in the pool.
The boys pass it when they walk home from school.
Frightened?
Yes.
Until we learned that the woman who made the frantic 9-1-1 call to tell the police dispatcher that she and her husband had been shot was actually (allegedly) one of three who plotted the murder of her husband.
The other two?
Her 18-year-old boyfriend, a young man that she had moved into her home while her husband was fighting in the middle east, and his friend.
Her husband had only been home three days ................
Paul Berkley had a website. It is being left open for comments.
His daughter also has a website. The paper says that she is blogging her way through the grief, but it appears as if she is doing so privately (as is expected), but you can leave comments.

My god.
Can you even imagine..........
How sad.
Some people are leaving some nasty comments on the girl's site though, poor kid. Enough to deal with without the weirdos on here.
Its a very sad situation though for all involved.
How horrible.

i can't imagine.... when did divorce become not an option? very sad!
unbelievable
That story is so awful. It ended up on our local news website in San Jose, CA also.
That's terrible. Another world for me, it sounds like something from a gritty tv show and not reality at all. You ever have a hard time grasping something you know to be true but is waaaaay beyond your experience? I am so sorry for all involved.
i read about this on cnn.... it's bad to see this. you serve in iraq, come back home, and then this happens..... i don't think they should put blog links up in the media.
i never met Paul. i said a prayer for him.....
what else goes on.... well the bad people will meet God.
