Ex-Russian soldier dies of suicide after standoff in Christchurch (over an SKS)

[SKS]

Why indeed

[TornadoAP]

Because new agencies love a good tragedy, and would rather go with what they can get first than verifying their information.

"Veteran forced to kill himself to not face jail time because someone reported him for owning an airsoft gun" is far more outrageous than "Suspected shooter accomplice kills himself when police try to arrest him."

Dear God the fucking New Zealand police involved in this are complete fucking idiots. These guys are going to end up preventing zero mass shootings and causing more insane situations like this in the future.
