Stabbed to death by his son at a Braum's. Is this the first time we've had a high ranking State official murdered while in office? The son seems like a nut case from reading about prior incidents.

He doesn't seem like a nut case from reading about the current incident?

Sad, sad deal. Costello was a good dude. Pretty sure he was going to run for governor in the not too distant future. He had been building up a campaign fund for a while. There's a reason that 'catchy jingle' was based just on his name, would have worked for any election in the future.

Mental health is a big problem in our state. Seems like its hard for even people of means to get the help needed for loved ones.

Did the son have mental issues? Also shame on the people in Braums why would no one help him?

Son had schizophrenia and was involuntarily committed several times.

People in and outside of Braums did try to help, but it was too late.
