Veteran believed to have PTSD shot himself in the head Friday in Ohio on Facebook live, after shooting his girlfriend and fatally shooting her 5-year-old son.
The girlfriend, 27, survived but was in critical condition.
Jonovie Mclendon Jr., 33, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

In the video, McIendon says, "Sorry people, its been a long day .. It was nice knowing you, but it's time, people. I love you all."
1010 WINS has reached out to Facebook for comment.
Police in Miami Township said it received a call from a man who said he planned to kill his girlfriend, her son and himself, Police Chief Ron Hess said.
“We believe as soon as he called regional dispatch….that he shot himself,” Hess said, reported the Dayton Daily News.
Police said he made multiple calls to officials. In one call received by authorities, Mclendon told dispatchers he spent three-and-a-half years serving overseas and was "just tired."
He said "I'm just saying I'm sorry" after telling the officers he'd killed both his girlfriend and her son, officials said.
Facebook users who saw the video on Facebook Live also called 9-1-1.
McIendon lived in an apartment with his girlfriend and her son, police said.

I wonder how long he’s conscious for. If it’s lights out or if there’s a short period of time where he’s aware of his situation but he can’t function because that part of the brain is destroyed.

Brain trauma will cause a complete blackout. Movements and noises that follow are purely the physical consequences of the lungs emptying and muscles relaxing.
I just don't get why they're called "veterans" after sitting around for 3 years, getting PTSD then coming home to cause some sort of carnage.
Maybe it's to sound cool so the kids keep signing their lives away? "Ooh I can be a veteran too if I sit on my ass and kill civilians in a foreign country!"

Not saying we are perfect nor didn’t cause harm to undeserved civilians, considering a lot of us wanted to go there to help the civilians getting murdered by people of their own country.. you might have a bit of skewed perspective from media. It’s an all volunteer force full of people who have a drive to help people around the world.

That's what I was wondering. I often hear them moan just after the blast and was never sure if this is them experiencing pain or just an involuntary release of air.
