Murder-Suicide in Winston-Salem

WXII12.com reports on the recent tragedy.

First his father died. Then he lost his job. Then his house was in the process of being foreclosed upon.

It became too much for 50-year-old Tony Guy Buchanan to handle and, like a volcano, he erupted on Tuesday afternoon, Buchanan's cousin, Dale Gallimore, told WXII 12 News on Wednesday.


"It has to be the economy," Gallimore said. "It has to be. Everything had gone against him and he didn't reach out and ask for help. If he had, we could have helped him.

"Police said Buchanan shot and killed his brother, 59-year-old Randy Buchanan, while Randy was working as a Winston-Salem inspector along Northwest Boulevard. Tony then turned the gun on himself.

When it becomes too much, what's a legitimate gun owner to do?
