An Oklahoma man admitted to shooting and killing his neighbors Monday before shooting himself in front of police desperately trying to convince him to lower his firearm, investigators said.

Police found 57-year-old Mary Milam and 59-year-old Donald Langdon shot dead in their home in Mannford, about 22 miles west of Tulsa, the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) said in a news release.

Soon after officers arrived, 83-year-old James Hancock walked out of his mobile home, sat down in a lawn chair with a gun to his head, Mannford Police Chief Jerry Ridley said, according to the Tulsa World.

Hancock told officers that he shot Milam and Langdon, the bureau said.

Officers worked for 30 minutes trying to persuade Hancock, according to the bureau, but he eventually shot himself.

Very sad. The pandemic and subsequent economic & social misery may be taking it's toll.

Actually crime is down

Doesn't stop some gun owners acting like children and think that being told to wear a mask is reason to kill someone.

The hasty implied generalization at work. If you can call it work. It's such a lazy tool.

Down, in exactly what terms? Street crime? Well, there no one out on the streets (until recently).

I was speaking to personal & domestic situations.

Alcohol use has spiked greatly, and that's often an indicator of domestic violence & 'deaths of despair' to come. In fact, a quick Google found this article as a top hit:

(USA Today) 'Deaths of despair': Coronavirus pandemic could push suicide, drug deaths as high as 150k, study says

I suspect similar results will turn-up for domestic violence, separation & divorce, and other related marital strife.

Yes, I suppose in unhealthy relationships where going out to works allows "cooling off" time the stay-at-home restrictions can have some unwanted consequences.
