DeLucia, Jr., who worked as a local auto mechanic, was also a hoarder and the house was packed with tools and other car repair items, Fitzpatrick added.
At the extreme, could this be a “failure to launch” child, now 57 years old, that continued to live at home being provided for by mom unable or or unwilling to provide for themselves, and finally was being forced to provide for themselves at age? Did the family make overtures to get the man mental help for decades only to be rebuffed by mom or the murderer? Now that mom was gone, the siblings were forced to deal with it?
The article doesn’t contain enough information to draw conclusions.
Yeah, the article is fairly threadbare. You bring up some good questions, too.
He should’ve started with himself
In before someone reports this - the person DID kill themselves, therefore this comment isn’t advocating self-harm, so much as “I wish the harm had ONLY been to themselves”
Yes, thank you
if only there was a good guy with a gun :(
Using so-called “red flag” laws, local police could have potentially prevented DeLucia from obtaining a firearm if they were made aware he was dealing with mental health issues, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said Monday.
And if we had a PreCrime unit like in Minority Report, crime would never happen. What a pointless addition to the article and pointless statement by useles police. These kinds of mental issue are rarely caught in time as the person “seems normal” until they don’t. While long guns are insanely accessible and cheap in most states.
With the frequency that crazy errant behavior seems to occur with boomer-age people, I truly do wonder if there is a common thread. Leaded gas? Covid causing long-term brain damage from plugged blood vessels? Micro-plastics? Having to face the reality that their retirement is going to erode away because of the climate change they naively accelerated with their spoiled ass lives?
It’s not ‘fatally shooting’, it’s killing or murdering.
Edit: lowered the bodily functions over the life threshold using a portable metal ejecting tool.
Ok “shot dead”, is that ok?
Your wording actually gives less info.
Re: your edit.
Fatally shot literally means “shot dead”, but with a bigger word.
I know. It’s just that fatally shot is what policemen or “good guys” gets, a bad guy will get the “killed” headline. That’s what I wanted to convey.
Like how an 18-21 year old woman that murders gets called a woman/adult in the headline, but if she’s the victim, she’s called a girl/young adult. (Similar with guys too.) News author or editor injecting bias (intentional or otherwise) into the article. That’s always annoyed me.
Can’t put my finger on it, but I feel we have a word for fatally shooting people.
I guess we’re avoiding the word gun in titles now…
You unable to see the word “shoot” in the title? I doubt it was a blow dart…erm… oh wait. That’s a gun too!
I don’t think it was a crossbow, or long bow, or a water…damn it. Keep coming back to “gun”.
If you can’t discern that it’s a gun from the title, there’s not much to do.
Oh look a redditor.
I’m not a redditor lol. It says reddit wanderer, as I have been wandering since the day RIF stopped working. I have not returned to reddit. Nice try with the ad hominem though

There’s really no need to get angry and attack people personally because you don’t like their opinion. My comment is extremely tame and you’re allowed to not agree.
What else can you fatally shoot someone with if the title is trying to avoid blaming guns?
A syringe?
You inject with a syringe but maybe their mind went there since that’s referred to as a shot. I guess they could also assume someone forced them to drink 1.5oz of liquor and died from it. Maybe it’s because I’m American but when I hear “fatally shot” only one instrument comes to mind.
