Marie Moore Shooting Her Own Son
Remember when Ervin Antonio Lupoe killed all of his family and then himself after he got fired? Thinking that someone would turn a gun on a member of their own family is insane, but obviously it happens. As sad as it is, Ervin Antonio Lupoe at least had some form of reason for killing. 44 year old Marie Moore from Florida however… I don’t get it. Marie Moore was with her 20 year old son Mitchell Moore at a Casselberry Shooting Range last Sunday, when without warning and without any apparent reason, she turned the gun at her son and shot him dead. Marie then turned the gun on herself and pulled a trigger one more time.
Mitchell Moore was killed instantly. Marie Moore was taken to a Florida Hospital Altamonte where she was proclaimed dead later that day. According the statement released by Lt. Dennis Stewart from Casselberry police department, there was no argument or any other sign of a problem prior to shooting. Without any apparent reason, Marie Moore simply killed her own son and then herself.
There are obviously too many questions that may never be answered. Nobody understands why she would open fire killing her own son. There is no suicide note either. Perhaps mental disease or some weird voices in her head, maybe she heard the voice of The Holy Ghost who told her to shoot her own son. Who knows…
Marie Moore and her son Mitchell both lived in Altamonte Springs, Florida even though not on the same address. They got together as mother and son do for Sunday afternoon and went to spend quality family time at Florida’s Casselberry Shooting Range. The two were sharing the lane and according to people using adjacent lanes, they were getting along just fine. Then there was shooting and everyone started running berserk.
The police have reviewed surveillance tapes provided by the Casselberry Shooting Range which revealed graphic details of the shooting (screenshot from the video is above) - Marie Moore walked up to her son Mitchell from behind, pointed the revolver which was rented from the shooting range at the back of his head and fired a shot. She then put the revolver in her mouth and pulled the trigger one more time.
