New Hampshire Dad Kills 9-Year-old Son and Himself

A New Hampshire software engineer shot his 9-year-old son to death before taking his own life during supervised visitation at a YWCA office, officials said Sunday.
An adult supervisor was present when Muni Savyon, 54, of Manchester, took out a handgun and shot 9-year-old Joshua Savyon of Amherst before shooting himself around 10 a.m., the attorney general's office said.

The father sent an email to a friend suggesting he was suicidal before the shootings, said Rabbi Levi Krinsky of Chabad Lubavitch in Manchester. Krinsky said Savyon had been depressed after recently returning from his brother's funeral in Israel but he had seen him last week and had no concerns he would harm himself or someone else.

  1. "Law enforcement officials said their relationship had been contentious at times and Savyon had previously threatened to kill all three of them. The mother was granted a protective order against the father last year, attorney David Bailinson said."

    You tag this under lawful gun owner, but this suggests that he wasn't. His being required to submit to supervised visitation would suggest that the protective order was still in force.

    1. Are you offering facts to refute Mike's statements? Pshaw! Mike don't need not steenking facts!


      Actually, it's interesting how Mike's constant refrain is "Nobody is checking on the status of these people!"

      Interesting that he's talking about himself more than the cops and DA's involved.
