It’s all over my Twitter feed and that’s what people are saying. The news hasn’t confirmed who died in the murder suicide. It’s a real tragedy.

If Justin Fairfax has indeed died, this thread will be subject to the 48 hour rule which means that you cannot post anything negative about him during that time. This is a rule that we enforce with regard to all deaths, regardless of political affiliation.

I understand your rule, but if he killed his wife before killing himself, that is pretty disgusting.

I think everyone realizes that and it doesn't really need to be spelled out. But if you think that there are folks who need to be told that it is wrong to kill your wife, wait two days.

Confirmed. Police chief just had presser.

Both teens were at home at the time. Son called 911.
Poor kids.

I’m new to the area and don’t really follow Virginia politics - who was this guy and what was his controversy?

Was there known financial, mental health or other issues with his tenure, or with him?
Sad.
