quote:

An Idaho man is accused of killing his daughter and attacking his son in a "horrific act of family violence."

At a home on the 1600 block of Blaine Street in Caldwell, a suburb of Boise, the suspect took several shots of alcohol around 9 a.m., he allegedly told Caldwell police officers. After doing so, he entered the bedroom of his 18-year-old daughter – Hope Cornish – and shot her in the side of the head, a probable cause affidavit states.

He then kissed her on the cheek and shot her cat "for the same reasons, because no one would take care of it after they were all dead," the document says. Delbert Cornish reportedly proceeded to cover Hope Cornish's body with a large gay pride flag "as a way to honor her, because it was something that meant a lot to her."

Reading the whole story, it doesn't appear the headline was the reason for the killing. He wanted to kill all of his children. But that headline will draw a reaction.

quote:

"Delbert explained he wanted to kill his children along with himself because he believed nobody, especially [his brother], would take care of them once he was dead, and that they would not be able to carry on in life without him," the detective wrote in the court document. "Because of this, he believed they would all be better off dead."

So was the gay his reason for killing her or not?

Sounds like the media is sensationalizing the headline as usual.

quote:

According to court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate KTVB, Cornish had been planning to kill his three children and himself for nearly a year – ever since he bought a black 9 mm Hi-Point handgun in September or October 2024.


quote:

The note allegedly included statements such as "I'm a man of my word my kids died by my hand. I'm tired of them being made fun of" and "I'm going! My kids are going with me."


quote:

"Delbert said he is tired of living and is tired of being 'belittled' by his brother, whom he his children live with. Delbert advised he is tired of his children being bullied by [his brother] and referenced named he calls them[.]"

Are we sure that's the correct photo of the father?

quote:

"later stated he picked up the handgun from the ground and put his to his right temple" just to realize it would not fire.


That's a Hi-Pernt for you.
