This is a photograph of Greg Imhoff, taken by his partner, Shari Telvick, who described him to me the other day as “the love of my life.” On August 7, 2012, while checking on a house in his Florida neighborhood—something he did for many of his neighbors when they were away—he was murdered. His death, and its larger implications for “responsible gun ownership,” will be the subject of my column on Saturday. Here is today’s report.

A man who fired a gun inside a ticketing area at Houston’s largest airport killed himself after being confronted by law enforcement. Carnell Moore walked into Terminal B at Bush International Airport and began firing into the ceiling. The shots were heard by a special agent of Homeland Security Investigations, and when the agent told Moore to drop the gun, he shot himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Inside a black suitcase next to where Moore was sitting, authorities found a Smith & Wesson AR-15 assault weapon with a fully loaded magazine. In Moore’s car, more ammo for the weapon was found. Earlier in the day, Moore had posted on social media that he intended to commit a mass shooting, but a handwritten note found on Moore’s body said he had changed his mind and wanted to kill himself.
