Apparently so. Sad news.

Can't imagine the mental torment he's suffered as a result of going to work that day.

I wish him peace. I can't imagine what he's been through since that fateful day.

Gosh! Shocking news.

He was arrested for assaulting his wife a while back, then they broke up.
Must have been under immense pressure.

RIP.

Terribly bad news indeed. Shame it's not that fat who thought it was funny to make the gun gestures at him.

Poor bugger. What a sad ending to a life and career, all because of some psycho.

It is cruel. Very cruel. I hope that his family are given time and space to grieve rather than being Sunday papered.

Cannot begin to even imagine the mental torture he went through - all he did was go to work like the rest of us on that day.

It is ashame that Coward Moat was never brought to Justice for his selfish actions.

RIP. frown

Very sad news, poor fella , hopefully next time some nut goes on the rampage with a gun the police will shoot first and ask/be asked less questions later......

Very sad but perhaps also a reminder that those severely wounded still suffer for years after. Some going on to take their lives.

Perhaps as a society we need to look at the care we provide those serving us, emergency services,military etc after the event. There'll be many like David who've come back from conflict who we forget so easily.

Rip David and all those like you who have lost so much on our behalf.

I think this covers it as well as anyone could ever say.
