Saving The World... You're Doing It Wrong

Detroit police are investigating why a murder suspect had to turn himself twice before he was arrested.

The 36-year-old man walked into a fire station two hours after he allegedly shot four people at a party early Saturday morning, police said in a statement. Two of the victims died, while the other two were seriously wounded, police said.

The suspect, who was not identified, told firefighters at 3:20 a.m. Saturday that he was connected to the shootings, police said.

Fire fighters called the Detroit Police Department, but they were told all available officers were on high priority runs and that no one would be able to be dispatched to the station, ABC News affiliate WXYZ-TV in Detroit reported.

The suspect left the fire station and went to a police station where he was taken into custody.

Police Chief Ralph Godbee said the department would conduct an administrative investigation to determine whether the situation was handled appropriately.

I am making an educated guess that it was not, in fact, handled appropriately.  Why?  Because a guy killed a couple of people, tried to save the public from himself and was sent on his way to get to the cops.

What if he had stopped along the way?

What if, figuring out he had nothing left to lose, he decided to stop somewhere else and take out more frustration?

The freaking murderer was the one who ended up doing the right thing at the end of this story.  So yeah, I think it's safe to say you can start with the assumption that it was not handled appropriately.
