It's Not a "Domestic Situation." It's MURDER!
CNN - Two college students were shot to death Thursday evening in a church parking lot in Ames, Iowa, police said, before the shooter fatally turned his gun on himself.
The shooting at the Cornerstone Church was the result of a "domestic situation" between the shooter, a 33-year-old man from the city of Boone, and one of the women, said Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald at a news conference Friday.
Both women, ages 22 and 21, were students at nearby Iowa State University, he said.
The shooter had been arrested May 31 on charges of third-degree harassment and impersonating a public official, all related to his recent breakup with one of the victims, Fitgerald said. He posted bond, Fitzgerald said, and was scheduled to be back in court June 10.
At the shooter's home, authorities found an AR-15 rifle with ammunition that "played no part in this event whatsoever," Fitzgerald said. In the shooter's vehicle, they found more 9mm ammunition he bought an hour before the shooting.

He probably should have been IN JAIL, not posting bond.
And since he had been arrested on charges of third-degree harassment and impersonating a public official, he should have been required to surrender any firearms pending the disposition of his case.
He also should have been put on a DO NOT SELL list, prohibiting gun shops from selling him ammunition. And if that had been in force that should have been a justification for REVOKING his bail.
