In 2001, he shot and killed his eight-year-old son on a hunting trip.

Authorities determined it was an accident.

I can't believe it because even though he was a jerk, I remember when he shot his son,

And I remember how hurt and upset he was.

when America fell victim to one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in human history,

and the country is suffering a collective trauma hangover.
