Tough Times and Guns Don't Mix


She had a stable job as an office manager. She had a husband who made decent money as a delivery man. They had a cute blonde daughter.

That was in 2008, and the ensuring three years weren't so kind. She went through a divorce, her husband fell behind on child support and she was arrested several times, including on embezzlement and drug charges. She no longer had the office manager job.

Still, no one could have envisioned what would happen Thursday night.

Foster shot her 10-year-old daughter in their Dunedin apartment, then put the gun to her own head and pulled the trigger, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office investigators say. Foster died at the scene; her daughter, Kassidie Rae McMillen, was flown by helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where she underwent emergency surgery and was in critical condition on Friday.

A large-caliber handgun was recovered in the apartment at the Windemere apartment complex, 1763 Main St., deputies said.
Gun availability strikes again.
